WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear Delegates, Speakers, Moderators, and Guests:
On behalf of the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations, it is my pleasure to welcome you to
the HPAIR 2015 Harvard Conference.
The world economy continued to experience steady recovery last year, with Asias economic growth
outpacing those of other regions. However, strong growth has not necessarily led to better socioeconomic
opportunities for all. For example, Chinas GDP growth averages 10% a year, but the countrys income gap
continues to widen. Protests at the World Cup highlighted the massive spending and social inequality in
Brazil. Several developed countries have also seen increasing income disparity. Thomas Piketty addresses
these concerns in Capital in the Twenty-First Century, writing that this soaring economic inequality
eventually contributes to political instability. Clearly, economic growth is not an end in itself. We must tackle
inequalitys multifaceted, complex nature in order to create inclusive growth. For this reason, we have chosen the 8th annual Harvard
Conference theme as Asias Blueprint for Growth: Building an Inclusive Future.
This weekend, you will have the opportunity to connect with each other and discuss what it means to build an inclusive future. You will
learn about increasing the presence of women and minorities in leadership positions, innovative healthcare solutions, international
cooperation, impact investing, and much more. We hope you will engage in conversations that may challenge, or even alter, your
perspectives on these issues. Ultimately, we hope you will continue to use the lessons you have learned from this conference long after the
Closing Ceremony has ended.
Thank you for participating in the 2015 Harvard Conference, and I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Julie Chang

ACADEMIC PLENARY
With the burgeoning of pro-democracy movements across the Asia-Pacific region and the
world at large, from the 2011 Arab Spring to Hong Kongs 2014 pro-democracy movements
to the 2013-14 Thai political crisis, we have witnessed both heightening hope and discouraging destabilization. What are the prospects for these recent democracy movements - do they
offer hope for a better future or do they point to the ultimate return or strengthening of a
repressive authoritarian regime? Is democracy truly a one-size-fits-all regime? What are the
trade-offs between a stable but authoritarian regime and the fight for democracy at the cost
of instability, and in some cases, bloodshed? This plenary will engage scholars and delegates
in a discussion of the successes and failures of democracy movements in Egypt, Hong Kong,
and Thailand, and in extension, the merits and shortcomings of democracy itself.

Emerging Leaders for a Better Asia

Modern pressures such as globalization and increased public scrutiny have necessitated the rise of new types of leaders and new management strategies in Asia.
In this panel, we will examine how young leaders are currently being groomed
for success and how they are having an impact on corporate behavior and social
responsibility. We will also look at the ascendance of women and minorities to
positions of leadership and analyze how resources are being dedicated to their
advancement. Altogether, we hope to assess the changing landscape of business
leadership in Asia and explore its potential social, economic, and even political
outcomes from an interdisciplinary lens.

of financial work with mergers & acquisitions.
Yet, after a trade project with Vietnams
consortium of 130 textile & garment factories (VINATEX), Ms.
Nguyens life was changed forever. She was retained by VINATEX
for three additional years, as a consultant on contract negotiation,
production, and business development. Traveling to & from Vietnam
in this capacity, she often witnessed the exploitation of children
and abusive labor practices - and felt moved to do something about
it. Encouraged by outside investment who saw potential in her
social enterprise, LanVy created a fashion line wrapped around
the concept of modern feminity, environmental awareness, and
social responsibility. Drawing inspirations from artistic differences
of civilizations, LanVy designs for the modern Human -- one that
can appreciate the richness of various cultures & their respective
sense of beauty. She is inspired by the revolution of KidRobot, by
the technicality of flax weaving, by the fashion-forward yet beautymindedness of Soeul. Not limited to a genre, she designs because she
is moved to create, inspired to do more, aspired to give more. She
recalls the stories of those children gone and is compelled to liberate
those children hoping to taste freedom and a day untethered.

Entrepreneurship Course in Asia: the

Innovation Boom and Global Impact
Asias entrepreneurship landscape has changed significantly from previous generations due to technology advances and globalization, shifting increasingly from
moving products to innovating through technology. Moreover, Asia has taken
its expanding capability to create a global presence and shape entrepreneurship
around the world through the eastern perspective. Through the panels, we will
examine the influences that framed this innovation boom in Asia. In particular,
through the eyes of founders, investors, and company leaders, we will explore
the challenges these new entrepreneurs face, how to think about growing and
expanding beyond markets in Asia, and the transition to a global force.

The Changing Health Landscape of

Asia: Solutions for the Future
Asian countries are becoming increasingly burdened by rising healthcare costs

every year, managing not only endemic threats of communicable diseases but also
soaring rates of chronic, non-communicable diseases. As many countries continue to grow and develop, they also start to face an increasingly aging population,
higher tobacco usage, greater food consumption, and worsening of air and water
quality. It is no wonder chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma are rising
at an alarming rate. Modernization, however, does not only manifest in physical
chronic illnesses; with increased competition in finding economic security, rising
use of social media, and greater socioeconomic disparities, mental health issues
should also be the forefront of concern. Mental illnesses, however, are rarely discussed in many countries due to their associated stigma. How can we address the
stigma of seeking care for mental illnesses? With most Asian countries currently
ill equipped and lacking in infrastructure for the healthcare challenges that lay
ahead, where should they invest in medical and public health interventions to
account for this rising need? What models and innovations both within Asia and
around the world can leaders emulate or create to better prepare for the changing
health landscapes of their nations?

New Frontiers in Asian Security

Economic growth in Asia depends on a solid foundation of security and diplomacy. However, to continue this growth, Asian leaders must navigate new and
old challenges to regional peace and prosperity. First, current border disputes
in the South China Sea highlight that history and nationalism can still bring
massive trading partners to the brink of armed conflict. Next, the new leaders
of Asias largest powers have an opportunity to put their stamp on regional
diplomacy. How might their efforts shape Asia in the next decade and what kind
of a response will they elicit around the continent? Finally, the digital age has
brought dramatic economic development and social change to Asia, but appears
increasingly threatened by cyber attacks driven by profits and politics. How will
Asian governments balance economic growth with the pursuit of national security
objectives in cyberspace? This panel aims to bring together diverse experts to
discuss these key issues and debate how Asian leaders can work towards a more
secure future for the region.

Technology in Asia: Innovations,

Circulations, and Transformations
Asias socioeconomic and cultural diversity allows for various technology innovation
and development. Some countries are stable politically while others are still in
transition. Some are geographically small, financially successful, and densely
populated, while others are large, developing economically, and lightly populated. This
diversity poses different challenges to every country and the rapid development of
technology and its application similarly varies. The panels will map the ways in which
Asia has become an increasingly important producer of and market for technology. In
particular, Asia is in the forefront in the field of technology as an international player,
consumer, and producer. Speakers will include scientists, policymakers, academics,
entrepreneurs, and businessmen.
