Political and economic developments in the West are causing many to question established models of governance. Support for free-market capitalism is under strain as inequality rises and ever larger segments of society see their incomes stagnate. Belief in globalization is giving way to populism, nationalism and mercantilist tendencies. Frustration with multilateralism is fostering a preference for bilateral international relations. And democratic politics faces accusations of promoting short-termism, irresponsible government and disharmony. What alternative ideas does Asia have to address these concerns?
