{"product_id":"the-great-upheaval-swarnim-wagl-9781009224321","title":"The Great Upheaval: Resetting Development Policy and Institutions for the Decade of Action in Asia and the Pacific'","description":"At the turn of the 21st Century, Asia pulled one billion people out of poverty in one generation, a meteoric rise suddenly stalled by the COVID-19 pandemic. This volume examines the strengths of the Asian-Pacific response to the pandemic and weaknesses that the region must re-engineer to rebound. It reimagines social and economic pathways to revamp production modes and networks to rekindle sustainable growth. Home to two-thirds of the world's population, the Asia-Pacific Region already accounts for close to half of all global output. By 2050 - after a detour of two centuries and a few pandemics - Asia-Pacific can again become a centrifugal economic and social force. This volume sets out options for policymakers to consider as we head into a new Asia-Pacific Century, one where economic strength will be necessary but insufficient by itself, as inclusion, resilience and sustainability - once seen as moral choices - become imperatives for the planet's future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Swarnim Waglé\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009224328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009224321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Swarnim Waglé","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45476604510463,"sku":"9781009224321","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfa8fc02-8ffb-428e-a4e9-75592c1a2c44.jpg?v=1715909903","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-upheaval-swarnim-wagl-9781009224321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
