HPAIR Asia Conference 2011

The HPAIR Asia Conference is a 5-day academic program in mid-August with six panel workshops moderated by Harvard graduate students and conducted concurrently throughout the conference. The theme for the 2011 Asia Conference is: “At the Crossroads: Decision in a Dynamic Asia.” The conference integrates the contents of the academic and business world to create a 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.
