Asia in the XXI century

Main Article Content
Abstract
This unavoidably impressionistic analysis of that part of the future of Asia that may already be read in its present, begins with a discussion of the so–called ‘Asian miracle’, of its diverging interpretations and of how it may continue during the next twenty or thirty years. Some aspects of the foreseeable demographic and economic evolution of Asia in the medium and long term are then presented. This is followed by a discussion of the implications of this evolution in terms of three main challenges that Asia must face if it is to succeed: natural resource use and the environment, the fight against poverty and, central to the success in responding to those two, governance. A last section discusses some political implications.
