Mission

HPAIR pursues a diverse set of programs, both in Asia and at Harvard.

HPAIR is a collaboration between the students and faculty of Harvard University to pro-mote discourse on critical issues affecting Asia and its relations with the world.

As Harvard’s largest student outpost in Asia, HPAIR offers several vigorous academic and business programs to create a forum of exchange and facilitate discussion of the most important economic, political, and social issues relevant to the Asia-Pacific region.

Introduction: Major Events

The HPAIR ConferencesSince 1991, the annual HPAIR conferences have brought together students from the world’s foremost universities and leaders in government, business, academia, and the arts. The Asia Conference has emerged as Harvard University’s largest student event in Asia.

The HPAIR Harvard ConferenceContinuing its tradition of academic excel-lence, the HPAIR Harvard Conference seeks to create a rigorous forum for dialogue and exchange. With the theme of “Asia Ascendant: Reaching New Heights” and covering topics on foreign policy, public health, environmental issues, gender equality, and cultural transfor-mations, the 2010 HPAIR Harvard Conference will invite both foreign delegates and Harvard students to engage in thoughtful conversations regarding critical issues affecting Asia and the world today. Through specific case studies, del-egates will learn to investigate and tackle real-

life issues from diverse perspectives that are defined by their interest group affiliation, to evaluate different opinions, to reason on their own, and to work together to make sugges-tions incorporating inputs from different in-terest groups.

The HPAIR Asia ConferenceThe HPAIR Asia Conference is a 5-day aca-demic program with six panel workshops moderated by Harvard graduate students and conducted concurrently throughout the con-ference. The theme for the 2010 Asia Con-ference is: “Sustaining Momentum: Ten Years Into The Asian Century.” This new conference will integrate the unique formats of both aca-demic and business conferences. The charac-teristic panel workshops of the original Aca-demic Conference will be interspersed with seminars and case studies from the Business Conference.

Executive Directors

In 1991, three intrepid Harvard undergraduates crafted a vision of an organization that would bring together university students from across Asia and the world to exchange ideas on important international issues and build educational links among the world’s future leaders. Just a year later, the first annual HPAIR conference came together in Taipei, at a time when the Cold War was just drawing to a close. The inaugural HPAIR conference sought to address the issues of an uncertain but exciting world and was such a success that there emerged strong support to continue the project.

By 1996, changes in the geopolitical landscape, combined with rapid technological and economic advancements, had ush-ered in a new era of greater cooperation among countries and allowed modern financial and political ties to transcend national borders as never before. HPAIR 1996 was one of the first scholarly platforms to provide students and aca-demics with the opportunity to explore the new phenomenon of globalization. In the wake of the Asian financial crisis, HPAIR 1998 sought to look beyond Asia’s economic growth and to address the myriad of challenges that accompanied the “Asian Miracle.” By 1999, after eighteen months that had fundamentally undermined many assumptions about Asian affairs, a once thriving and stable region faced a future clouded with uncertainty.

Following the 2001 conference, HPAIR substantially expanded the pool of conference applicants and began an on-campus program of events at Harvard. By 2004, our conference in Asia emerged as Harvard’s largest annual event in Asia and largest student conference in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2004, we selected delegates from the largest application pool in HPAIR history and inaugurated the HPAIR Business Conference. As HPAIR continued to grow, we launched the inaugural Harvard Conference in 2008.

In 2010, for the first time, HPAIR will combine the Academic and Business Conferences into one program: the Asia Conference. This unique conference will integrate the contents and formats of the academic and business conferences to create an unprecedented hybrid structure. Delegates will benefit from gaining a broader exposure to issues spanning multiple arenas, including political, social, economic, cultural, and business. As the world becomes more globalized as well as commercialized, the boundary between business and other aspects of society is increasingly less rigid. The Asia Conference seeks to capture this phenomenon and help delegates understand its impacts on the future of international relations. Today, with regular attendance of some of the world’s most distinguished leaders, HPAIR has gained a reputa-tion as one of the most visible university forums centering on the Asia-Pacific region.

On behalf of the organization, we welcome you to HPAIR 2010.

Sincerely,

Lucy ZhangExecutive Director, HPAIR 2010 Asia Conference

With the American war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq hardly forgotten, internal strife in Pakistan, Thailand, and Sri Lanka in the back of our minds, earthquakes in Kashmir and Sichuan commemorated, and a global financial crisis and world-wide epidemic impacting almost all of our lives, the first decade of the twenty-first century is drawing to a close. Do these difficult years mark the beginning of a triumphant “New Asian Century”? Or is it too early to draw such a con-clusion?

We are to acknowledge the advances made amidst these years of hardship; not a single country, even the United States, can make important decisions alone. Communication, cooperation, and collaboration are vital to solve the world’s problems today and tomorrow. At the same time, we are to recognize the ascendance of Asia because of its growing economic importance. Its increased role in trade and international security makes its members indispensable stakeholders in today’s global society. The increasing dialogues among Asia’s and the world’s leaders convey an important message: collective decision-making via negotiations and compromises are inevitable for the lead-ers of tomorrow.

The HPAIR 2010 Harvard Conference provides one such platform of exchange, discourse, and collaboration among these future leaders. We believe that new heights will only be seized by those willing to create synergy through mutual understanding.

American Foreign Policy: The Obama Admin-istration

When Barack Obama took the oath of office as the President of the United States, the world media applauded the event and expressed their hope in seeing America fulfill the changes promised in Obama’s campaign. Many expect a change in the direction of American foreign policy, as the Democrats have taken control of the executive branch after eight years. In this age of globalization, changes made in American foreign policy will inevitably have a spillover effect on Asia. How likely is the Obama administration to make significant changes, given the relatively stable trend of American foreign policy over recent years? What changes, if any, are likely to happen in the short-run and in the long-run? How should Asian countries and individuals prepare themselves in light of these possible changes?

During our plenary session, we will examine key issues affecting America’s relations with the world today. We will analyze the recent changes in the international environment, investigate heated topics in the foreign policy debate, study characteristics of the policy-making process in the United States and its impact on the outcome, and discuss possible changes in American foreign policy under the Obama administration.

Changing Gender Roles in Asia: The Evolution of Women’s Rights

Although Chairman Mao declared in 1949 that “women hold up half the sky,” for the past 50 years, women have still been treated as inferior to men in many regions of Asia. Women are more likely to suffer from inequalities in protection of their rights and access to education; they are underrepresented in national and local governments, as well as in each nation’s leading companies. Yet, this is beginning to change. We will examine methods being utilized nationally and internationally to restore equality between the genders, focusing on the particular success that has been found in breaking the cycle of poverty by providing women with basic education, financial support, and health care. Delegates are expected to bring a specific case study of an international or domestic policy or program that has been successfully implemented to establish women as equal counterparts in Asia.

Dr. Sugam Bhatnagar MPH Candidate (Quantitative Methods), Harvard School of Public Health

Certain individual leaders stand out for having brought great prosperity or having wreaked great havoc upon their na-tions. Structuralists claim that the international structure matters so much that individual leaders do not make much of a difference. Yet what we notice in Asia is a number of political leaders who are able to skillfully guide their nations through times of trouble and times of opportunity. In this workshop, delegates are expected to analyze the origins and evolution of various political leaders in Asia. We will examine and evaluate the most prominent political science theories, scholarly debates, and public controversies about the power of leaders in Asia. What changes have they brought? What changes have they been unable to implement? How much does individual leadership matter in international relations?

We turn our attention in particular to Asian leaders who offer the most dynamic examples of leadership in politics, eco-nomics, and society in general. Specifically we will analyze styles of leadership in the most populous country in the world – China – and in the largest democracy in the world – India.

It is a unique time to be a student or observer of economics, in the midst of the crisis that is unfolding around the world. Given Asia’s extensive linkages to the global economy, the impact of the crisis was certainly felt in the region, even though most countries were not directly exposed to subprime assets which were at the epicenter of the financial meltdown. This panel will examine the impact of the global financial and economic crisis on Asia. How badly was the region affected, and why? How different is it this time, compared to the 1997-1998 crisis? Importantly, how did Asian countries deal with the crisis? We will draw lessons from both current and historical perspectives, and examine policy responses at the national and regional levels. Looking ahead, we will also assess the challenges that Asia faces in a post-crisis world. As growth sustainability is crucial for the region to continue playing a significant global role, we will think critically about what Asia’s future growth model looks like, and explore the need for new growth strategies in Asia.

This panel will provide a forum for professors, practitioners, and students from around the world to share their views on the security challenges facing the Asian continent. While there is now a general acknowledgement that Asia is be-coming the new center of gravity in international politics, it is also true that the present juncture represents a period of uncertainty. A variety of key security challenges have recently been converging in Asia that include North Korea nuclear threat, territorial dispute between China and India, continued tensions between Pakistan and India, and a resurgent Rus-sia. Though growing economic interdependence has the tendency to help maintain an equilibrium among these nations, potential sources of conflict cannot be easily ignored when striving for a peaceful, stable future for the continent.

Yu Lei Ph.D Candidate in Graduate School of Arts and Science

The threat of global warming, if unaddressed, promises disastrous consequences for all of human civilization. Due to increased temperature, the sea level is rising; the North Pole ice cap is disappearing; countless species are becoming extinct; humanity is facing a greater risk of environmental disasters. As the newest and fastest developing region in the world, Asia is already emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases to the global atmosphere. Asian countries should take responsibility and attempt to combat the problem by taking initiative in climate change policy and international rela-tions. China has surpassed the US as the primary emitter of carbon, but its carbon emissions have not been restricted by any international agreements. The Kyoto Protocol undertook some effort to curb carbon emissions by developing countries, and the imminent Copenhagen conference is expected to have a greater effect on all nations, especially Asian countries. Developing renewable energy could be a sustainable strategy for Asian countries as part of a long term plan to reduce their carbon emission. However, burdened with large initial capital costs, long payback time, and low conver-sion efficiency in the renewable sector, Asian countries have hesitated to produce large scale renewable energy and continue to build “dirty” fossil fuel-based power plants. The Global Environment panel will focus on discussing global warming and renewable energy issues and their related effects on health and the economy in Asia. Approaching the issue from the vantage point of policy makers, delegates will be able to understand and interpret the intertwined rela-tionship between economics, environment, energy, and national security. In applying what they learn over the course of the workshop, delegates will be able to propose more effective policies on the environment and energy.

Josh S.C. Ryoo Ph.D Candiate in Harvard Graduate School of Education

Since the time of ancient philosophers in China and (much later) in Greece, the importance of education has been recognized as a way of realizing social, political, and individual ideals. This can be seen in Confucius’ extensive ar-guments on the centrality of education in shaping a better individual in his Analects and in Plato’s treatise on sys-tematized educational practices in The Republic. With a long-held common belief in the importance of education at both the societal and the individual levels, a number of Asian countries are currently facing serious challenges to their self-proclaimed need to succeed in the international scholarly competitions. Though the origins of such a strong sense of competition are unclear, it is a well-established fact that the majority of educational conversation in Asia revolves around the concepts of competition, economic success, and international advancement. The delegates will investigate several key topics in the ongoing discussions on education in Asia and examine the theoretical and practical soundness of their competition-driven efforts.

Xiaofei Ying M.A Candidate in Regional Studies: East Asia

Memories of the past shape perception of the present, and memories themselves are often molded by political, social, and cultural factors such as official narratives, advocacy campaigns, or even popular myths. Therefore, under-standing historical memories in Asia and how they are formed can offer us great insights as we investigate Asia’s present and its roots. The workshop will examine historical manifestations of disparity, disagreement, and conflict from East, Southeast, and South Asia from different perspectives. We will identify and compare dominant narratives of history from different regions in Asia, try to extract a relatively objective analysis of history, and discuss how similar or different narratives have contributed to strengthen or weaken regionalism in Asia. This panel encourages delegates to develop analytical skills, reason on their own, and gain a better understanding of history and its repre-sentation in Asia.

ThemeAsia Conference:

Asia’s meteoric rise on the world’s stage has dramatically improved the lot of millions across the continent, but such a breakneck pace of development also brings great challenges. To date, many of the emerging powerhouses have exceeded expectations and development targets, but many other Asian nations still languish far behind. As Asia receives greater attention abroad, domestic issues continue to pose significant obstacles. Economic development also brings a widening inequality gap, both between and within nations. As the political, environmental, and cultural consequences of development and globalization pile up, can nations across Asia sustain their momentum ten years into the “Asian Century?”

Panel Topics

Decades ago, globalization developed as the catchword for the growing interdependence among nations. Recent trends, however, have tended toward the rise of regional socio-economic community. The European Union now challenges the American hegemony, while Asia tries to integrate its various regions and countries; the rise of ASEAN Plus Three (to which Singapore belongs) presents a showing example, Political and economic cooperation among countries progresses at a steady pace. What ASEAN Plus Three countries’ opportunities and challenges? Could ASEAN Plus Three rise to be as powerful as the European Union? What implications does ASEAN Plus Three have for Asian diplomacy?

The free trade principle has resulted in unprecedented global integration and growth; simultaneously, the gap be-tween rich and poor countries widens. Consequentially, “free trade” alternates with attempts at national self-suffi-ciency using tariffs and other barriers. The panel explores the ongoing discussion about free trade and the impact of technological, economic, social, and political trends in Asia. Does free trade guarantee economic prosperity of all participants? Or as the dependency theory argues, are there some “core” countries who always benefits from the free trade system and “periphery” countries who are always exploited? When all the international financial institutions — WTO, IMF, OECD — are basically American inventions, are they really neutral, non-biased actors of authority?

This panel explores the extent to which international law affects and improves the state of Asia. Topics include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; rights in the political and economic spheres; the rights of women, children, and refugees; international human rights law and international humanitarian law; and the state, regional, and interna-tional processes and structures that establish and monitor the regime of international law. As Sophocles famously noted, “What you cannot enforce, do not command,” law becomes powerful and effective only when an entity has the ability to enforce it. Do international courts possess this ability? What are the rights and responsibilities of the people in the international legal framework?

Possible collaboration with:National Committee for UNIFEM Singapore• NUS Faculty of Law• The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law•

The current “green war,” the war for the future of the environment and humanity, stands as real and substantial as any physical war. This panel will explore the various strategies the world can employ to increase energy efficiency and expand the use of non-fossil energy, including renewable and nuclear power. The focus lies in policy approaches to global environmental issues. To what extent is Asia willing to cooperate? What different strategies have the Asian countries adopted? What is the difference in environmental cooperation between “developed” and “developing” Asian countries? Who leads this environmental dialogue? Do we need a hegemon in order to stabilize these global environmental challenges?

Private companies have certain obligations to generate profits for stakeholders. However, companies should not fol-low the model of merely seeking profits. The responsibilities of the companies now encompass the economic, legal, and ethical expectations of society. This panel focuses on the efforts of both for-profit and not-for-profit private com-panies to respond to these social needs through creative solutions. Topics will include: defining social responsibility; assessing market, philanthropy, and government reactions to corporate responsibility; developing organizational mis-sions; recognizing specific opportunities for social improvement; forming enterprises that respond to those opportu-nities; developing organizational funding strategies; evaluating performance; leading enterprises; and creating positive and sustainable social value.

Possible collaboration with:The Singapore Compact for CSR• Corporate Social Responsibility in Asia• Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy/National University of Singapore• United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific•

Thomas Edison’s famous quote reads, “I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.” Passionate risk takers always put in their time, ideas, and money to create “what the world needs.” Without doubt, entrepreneurs’ fearless attempts have changed the world. With various speakers from the business world in Asia, this panel aims to understand innovation and entrepreneurship through case studies. Delegates are expected to learn how the innova-tion process works, how to cope with strategic challenges, and how to expand the process beyond traditional firm boundaries.
