Abstract
China, India and Indonesia, the three Asian giants, will play an increasingly important role on the world stage. Each of them faces development challenges with a human dimension. This session will focus on some of
these in comparative perspective. There will be discussions on countering corruption, role of education in fostering more egalitarian development and the socio-demographic challenge of “missing females”. |
