Insights into Politics and Policy in Asia for Global Leaders
"This course will take place in Singapore on 22-23 October, 2012 and is only open to the members of the Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum."
Overview
The world has changed. Asia, driven by the growth of its two giants, China and India, is rapidly emerging as the focal point of global politics and policy. In this dynamic environment, aspiring leaders, policymakers and opinion formers need an increasingly nuanced understanding of how different players in the region are both driving and responding to change, and what the implications are for the people of Asia and worldwide.
The course offers an unparalleled opportunity to talk to politicians, dignitaries and experts from the region about the rise of Asia and the implication for the world. It will expose participants to first-hand insights into rapidly changing international dynamics and offer different perspectives on what this might mean for the rest of the world.
