IMF PodcastsDanny Quah on Rethinking MultilateralismBringing nations together to maintain peace and security and raise living standards for all seemed a utopian idea in the early 20th century. Still, geopolitics, economics and vision by world leaders eventually came together to make it a reality.

Danny Quah has studied the increase in global economic tensions and sees the rising East as an important factor.

Global InsightsWhat Matters More: Democracy or Economic Growth - Danny Quah & Larry DiamondDoes democracy lead to economic prosperity and growth? This question dates back to Plato and Aristotle’s debate regarding which form of government brings more political and economic gains to society.

Should democracy or economic prosperity be the measurement of success for countries? Which should come first in a country’s priority list, especially developing countries? Join us to hear the answer from our dist...

Asian Studies CentreIs the 21st Century Asia's?NB: The first minutes of the presentation were not recorded. Professor Danny Quah speaks at the International Politics of East Asia Seminar Many writers have noted how the international system might be on the cusp of a change, where the "America Century" will no longer describe world order. If, however, the challenge to the established international regime arises from East Asia in general, or from China in particular, the numbers are, at best, ambiguous. Moreover, the conventional narrative ascribes to the established system intangible attributes such as soft power that are difficult to dislodge.
This talk develops an alternative approach—of...

Even while the depth and degree of these reforms remain unclear, Myanmar, one of Southeast Asia's poorest and most fragile economies, has begun to see easing in its foreign relations, and international trade and investment engagements.
