Growth: Critical Perspectives from Asia

The Asian Dynamics Initiative (ADI) is pleased to announce the 5th international conference 'Growth: Critical Perspectives from Asia' to be held at the University of Copenhagen on 13-14 June 2013.

Lifting millions of people out of poverty but with huge social and ecological costs, growth in Asia looms as both promise and peril. This conference aims to rethink and scrutinize the concept of ‘growth’ from an Asian perspective through a multi-disciplinary approach.

Opening speeches:
Prorector Thomas Bjørnholm
Minister for Business and Growth Annette Vilhelmsen

Keynote speakers:
Professor Edward Farmer, University of Minnesota: “Eurasia and the Path to Global Growth”
Professor Danny Quah, London School of Economics: “What’s wrong with Asia?”

Round table debate on Growth and Asia with Danny Quah (LSE) Carl-Johan Dalgaard (UCPH) and Jørgen Ørstrøm Møller (SMU and CBS)

Panel sessions on economic growth in emerging economies, Sino-Xeno encounters, green growth, transformation on the margins, local pathways of economic growth, cultural growth, population quality, social consequences of growth and more.
