Prof. Kishore Mahbubani: a wiser approach for the West to take Asian 21st century is multilateralism
The roles of great powers, China, the US, Europe, in an increasingly multipolar world have resulted in complex power dynamics in the Asia-Pacific. With RCEP becoming effective at the start of 2022, the world’s largest trading bloc in history has been formed among a great number of Southeast Asian and Asia-Pacific nations, marking a milestone in the story of a returned Asia.
On Jan. 18, 2022, CCG hosted a dialogue between four distinguished guests to offer views from Asia, the US, Europe, and China regarding the rise of Asia and its implications for an increasingly multipolar world.

The roles of great powers, China, the US, Europe, in an increasingly multipolar world have resulted in complex power dynamics in the Asia-Pacific. With RCEP becoming effective at the start of 2022, the world’s largest trading bloc in history has been formed among a great number of Southeast Asian and Asia-Pacific nations, marking a milestone in the story of a returned Asia.
On Jan. 18, 2022, CCG hosted a dialogue between four distinguished guests to offer views from Asia, the US, Europe, and China regarding the rise of Asia and its implications for an increasingly multipolar world. They are - distinguished scholar, diplomat, and Singapore’s leading voice on Asia Prof. Kishore Mahbubani who recently published The Asian 21st Century; a leading Asian expert from Johns Hopkins University SAIS Prof. Kent E. Calder; Prof. Kerry Brown, Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College London, and CCG President Wang Huiyao.
In his opening remarks, Prof. Mahbubani noted that Asia should send a thank-you note to the West for creating the Asian 21st century, and the West should be celebrating the success of Western ideas in Asia. Instead, the West is doing the exact opposite - both intellectually and politically refusing to accept the fact that the 21st century will be the Asian century.
The former UN Ambassador believes a wiser and more intelligent approach for the West to take in the 21st century is multilateralism. "In a sense, if you want to create a more balanced world order to reflect the new world. We don't have to reinvent the world. We can just take the 1945 rules-based order that the West created and work with it."

At the start of the evening, UWCSEA was proud to announce a partnership with National University of Singapore’s (NUS), Asian Peace Programme (APP). Together, UWCSEA and APP will establish a 1-year research-based fellowship position at the APP with a focus on discussion and research about peace, peace building and conflict on ASEAN and SEA. In addition, the UWCSEA student community can participate in an essay competition which will empower the Colleges’ young people to write and publish a piece on the topic of peace. This partnership, which is part of UWCSEA's commitment to Singapore in the current programme of 50th anniversary celebrations and events, will play an important role in UWCSEA’s ambitions to reimagine education, with APP and UWCSEA united in their mission to understand and promote peace and peacebuilding initiatives in Asia.
Kishore and Carma engaged in a wide-ranging discussion on peace, covering themes including the influences of internationalism, how changes in our global geo-political landscape have shifted the balances of power, the effect of the shifts in China's relationship with the world, and the increasing role of regional cooperation in international peace.
The event concluded with a live audience Q&A moderated by Nick Alchin, Head of East Campus, who posed questions from the online audience as well as from the small live audience of East Campus High School students and staff.

Environment, Business and Human Rights in Asia
We all have the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. But environmental degradation resulting from business activities threatens the most basic human rights of millions of people around the world.
But we don't have to stand by. Together, governments, civil society, and responsible business partners can promote measures to reduce carbon emissions, implement human rights due diligence, and ensure a healthy environment for all.

What is the State of Asian Human Rights
NOTES: http://asianewsweekly.net/2015/03/25/what-is-the-state-of-asian-human-rights/
Eroding personal freedoms, political oppression, and what some say is an overall decline in democracy. These are all currently taking place in the region, but what is the state of human rights in Asia? That conversation is taking place in Asia… now.
March 25, 2015
Asia is home to 4.3 billion people or roughly 60% of the world’s population. It’s also home to cruel dictatorships like North Korea; China, who performs more executions than the world combined, and other nations that seem to have a revolving door on leaders, but what is the state of human rights in the region?
Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch’s Asia division joins the podcast to tackle that issue.

The Year’s Struggle for Human Rights in Asia: 2017 in Video | Radio Free Asia (RFA)
The Rohingya humanitarian crisis, Cambodia’s slide toward authoritarian rule, and the death of Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo symbolized a troubling retreat of liberal values and human rights across much of Asia in 2017. But among these disturbing events, RFA covered stories of hope and resilience, including a harrowing defection by a North Korean soldier, a daughter rescued from dark world of human trafficking, and the rise of women in journalism. Looking back on the year that was, these shocking and remarkable moments tell a story of both the trials and the triumphs of human dignity.

A Lost Decade: The U.S. Pivot to Asia and the Rise of Chinese Power Podcast
This podcast from Blackwill and Fontaine's Lost Decade analyses the shortcomings of the US "Pivot to Asia" strategy from 2011-2021. The authors attribute the strategy's failure to underestimating the China challenge, unforeseen crises in the Middle East and Europe, a lack of clear articulation and presidential commitment, and the sheer difficulty of implementing necessary policy changes. They argue that a renewed, comprehensive pivot is crucial to counter China's growing influence and maintain a rules-based international order, outlining strategic principles and policy recommendations for achieving this goal. The text concludes by stressing the need for urgent action and bipartisan support to avoid a "lost decade" ...

Official Teaser | Asia in Focus: Climate Change and the Business and Human Rights Agenda
Concern is growing rapidly on the impact of climate change on people and planet. We need to ask hard questions that involve painful trade-offs. Are current approaches up to the task?
In the upcoming episode on Asia in Focus, we ask:
- What are the limits of climate change adaptation efforts? Panacea or false promise?
- Are radical or incremental approaches to climate changes needed and who wins and loses under either approach?
- Industry certification efforts have been widely criticized, but do we need to reconsider? What more can be done to ensure sustainable palm oil?
This episode complements an upcoming report on climate change exploring the solutions through the framework provided by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Concern is growing rapidly on the impact of climate change on people and planet. We need to ask hard questions that involve painful trade-offs. Are current approaches up to the task?
In the upcoming episode on Asia in Focus, we ask:
- What are the limits of climate change adaptation efforts? Panacea or false promise?
- Are radical or incremental approaches to climate changes needed and who wins and loses under either approach?
- Industry certification efforts have been widely criticized, but do we need to reconsider? What more can be done to ensure sustainable palm oil?
This episode complements an upcoming report on climate change exploring the solutions through the framework provided by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Join us for a conversation with experts and industry leaders:
- Prof. Surya Deva, Macquarie University
- Sara K. Phillips, Chulalongkorn University
- Joseph (JD) D'Cruz, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil
