    Reconceptualizing Asia’s Security Challenges, The Asia Peace Programme
    Dong, J (Asia Research Insitute, National Universtiy of Singapore, 2024-04-21)
    As the world’s economic center of gravity and strategic focus continue to shift toward Asia, the region has become a focal point for strategic competition among major powers. The Asian region also harbors many flashpoints such as Taiwan, the South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula, and the China-India border. The critical challenge ahead is how Asia can maintain peace and prosperity in this era of significant geopolitical frangibility and complexity.

    Why is global hunger still on the rise and what can we do about it? Experts’ Opinions
    Russo, C (Development Aid, 2023-12-25)
    More than 3.4 billion people – 42% of the world’s population – are under the age of 25 and are confronted with unsustainable and highly vulnerable food systems. This is according to the latest Global Hunger Index (GHI), released in October 2023. Despite international efforts to achieve zero hunger by 2030, little progress has been made in reducing global hunger since 2015.

    Why China’s 2022 Fiscal Stimulus Will Fall Short
    Wong, C (East Asian Institute, NUS, 2022-07-04)
    Data released by China’s Ministry of Finance on 16 June 2022 offer a glimpse of the economic damage caused by the spread of the omicron variant and the containment policies adopted since late March. They also point to trouble ahead in the government’s plans for reviving the economy.

    Fiscal Futures: Will China Offer an Alternative Development Model?
    Wong, C (International Budget Partnership, 2019-03-13)
    Forty years since launching its program of “reform and opening,” China is still going strong as a one-party state. Under the Communist Party’s tutelage, China’s development has diverged from historical patterns whereby growing economic prosperity has led invariably to the rise of democratic institutions, as richer and better educated citizens demand more say in society and government. Rather than becoming more democratic, China has instead become more authoritarian and intolerant. The question we address in this post is whether China’s current path is a temporary detour, or if it represents the emergence of a new development “model” that the Chinese government is touting. We argue that the results-based, pragmatic approach to politics associated with “Chinese-style democracy” may look attractive to countries seeking to kickstart development, but the authoritarian aspect of the model, along with its economic foundations, may be unsustainable even in China where hard tax and spending choices will soon have to be made.

    Australian Business and Economic Engagement with Asia
    Rosser, A (International Institute for Asian Studies, 2022-07-01)
    Australian government policy-makers have long asserted that Asia is a source of economic opportunity for Australia, especially for Australian businesses seeking to internationalise their operations. Neither growing geopolitical tensions between Australia and China in recent years nor the economic dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic appear to have altered their thinking in this respect.
