Asia is emerging (some would say reemerging) on the world stage, but this rise is more complex than headlines suggest. Within the region --- and even within nations --- there is tremendous economic growth and persistent poverty, increased engagement with the West and growing nationalism, a nascent civil society and single-party rule. As some countries struggle to provide citizens with basic services, others are positioning themselves as centers of artistic capital. Hopkins scholars offer regional snapshots and provide insight into what to expect in coming decades.
