RSVP Required

Please join us on January 29th for two events with Marcus Noland, senior fellow at the Peter G. Peterson Institute for Economics. First, as part of a larger Carnegie Council event, Dr. Noland will examine reversing brain drain in the Middle East as a potential strategy for spurring entrepreneurship and strengthening the region's links to the global economy. Outside the booming energy sector, indicators of potential growth for the Arab economies in the Middle East are weak. Reversing brain drain contributed to the blossoming of the high tech sector in economies such as Taiwan and India and holds possibilities for the Middle East.
Afterward, Dr. Noland will join the Carnegie New Leaders and YPFP New York exclusively for an informal discussion of the latest developments in Northeast Asian security and the six-party talks. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served.

Both events will be held at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. To attend, please register by emailing Danielle Candy at dcandy@cceia.org with your name and affiliation.

Current Financial Crisis : Are Asian economies de-linked or not?

Posted by Anirudh Suri on November 13, 2008 - 6:09pm.

The current financial crisis has significantly impacted Asia. Not surprisingly, this weekend, its not a G-8 meeting, but a G-20 meeting, including India, China and Brazil.

Before the crisis erupted, India and China were being touted as the new "dream economies." For a while after the magnitude of the crisis started becoming evident, the economies of both countries showed some resilience, prompting commentators in Asia to point out the de-linkage in the global economy. "De-linkage" refers to a strain of thought that argues that the fate of the global economy, especially the Asian economies, is no longer inextricably linked to that of the U.S. economy.
