Global Asia

The best intelligence on Asia at your fingertips. Global Asia is not a journal with a fixed point of view, or a particular agenda.

Our aim is to give voice to the global dimension of what is happening in Asia. In our pages and on our web site, we aim for Asia to speak to the world, and the world to Asia. That is important at a time when this region is playing an ever greater role in world affairs. There are other fine publications on international affairs. What sets us apart is our focus: Asia. We believe that the world is mo

Partners and allies of the US in Asia are readying themselves for Donald Trump’s actions now that he is back in the White House. In Europe, the Middle East, Canada and Mexico, his impact is already being felt. But countries in Asia also face ongoing challenges from a more assertive China, which many in Washington see as a rival.

It is high time that countries in Asia work together to manage and influence the way they are treated by both the US and China, and to uphold multilateral institutions, writes Ramon Pacheco Pardo.

The forces unraveling and reshaping the international order crafted by the United States in the wake of the Second World War have been brewing for some time. But the return of Donald Trump to the US presidency has given that historical trend palpable momentum.

In Asia, this is being felt most acutely in South Korea, where stark choices face the country’s leaders, writes Eric J. Ballbach.

The role of India as an emerging power in Asia raises a number of issues that flow from its traditionally close relations with Russia, its budding ties with the US and its sometimes-troubled dealings with China. Thus, a meeting last October between Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping was charged with expectations.

As Rup Narayan Das explains, the path to that meeting, and what might come of it, speaks volumes about the complex maneuvering under way between New Delhi and Beijing.

Vietnam’s economy is likely to get a boost in coming years from an innovative US$350 million project in the Mekong Delta, with the World Bank providing US$250 million in funding and the government the rest.

The project centers on improving transport networks in this vital region in a way that will also help Vietnam to address key climate-change objectives, writes Gordon Feller.

A proposal by China to build a massive dam on the Brahmaputra River in the Himalayas is emerging as a source of renewed tensions between New Delhi and Beijing at a time when the two countries have appeared to want better relations.

The concerns for India — as well as Bangladesh — center around economic and environmental issues, but geopolitics is also at play, writes Neeta Lal.

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been a colossal figure in Thai politics for more than two decades, despite being in exile after a coup in 2006 to evade corruption charges.

Allowed to return last year, he has brazenly begun to test the limits placed on him, raising questions about where the country’s politics may be headed, writes Marwaan Macan-Markar.
