Environments in Transition
Leiden Asia Centre Research Agenda 2024-2026
We live in a world in transition. As the major players of world politics grapple with the challenges of the 21st century, their political, economic, social, and physical environments are shifting under their feet, and often radically so. Rapid technological advancements further amplify and complicate these changes. Where do these transformations lead, who benefits or suffers from these changes, and what does a responsible strategy look like that promises to steer societies through these radical uncertainties?
Over the coming years, our research on Asia will focus on three core themes:
- Regional and Global (Re)Ordering
- Technological Transformations
- Evolving Environments
