Moderator: Young-Sun Ha

 

Good Afternoon. I’m Young-Sun Ha of Seoul National University and also the senior advisor to the EAI. Since the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, we have so far discussed quite a lot on the post-crisis world and regional order. But, it seems that our discussions have not yet achieved the detailed, clear picture of the post-crisis world and regional order, in particular on the issues such as the relative decline of the United States, and also what will be the shape after the rise of China in the upcoming several decades, in addition to that what kind of global and regional governance to cope with the coming and new post-crisis world order. It seems that our meeting is a good place to discuss and converge on the conclusion of such kind of difficult task.

 

For our effective, efficient discussion we invited two speakers for our discussions. The first speaker will be Professor Ravenhill of Australian National University. Before joining the ANU he taught at several major universities of the world and he wrote many books and articles. The most recent one is the co-edited book, Asia’s Dynamic Political Economy. He will give us a seven minute brief introduction to the global and regional governance in particular with the emphasis on G-20. And our second speaker will be Professor Jae Ho Chung of Seoul National University. Before joining Seoul National University he taught at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology during 1993 to ’96. He is very internationally well-known scholar on China issues. He already wrote and edited ten books on China issues, which includes Charting China’s Future in 2006 and also the most recent one is China’s Local Administration Traditions and Changes in the Sub-National Hierarchy in 2009. After hearing the two brief presentations we will have a free-round discussion. Because of the time limit - we have over twenty members in two hours- to have productive discussions I am a little worried how I can manage as a moderator to finalize our discussion.

 

Anyhow, in spite of the pressure of time limits, I think each participants of the panel I will ask very briefly introduction from right side to the left and after that we will hear the two presentations. Would you start the introduction of yourself very briefly?
