“Since the first Asia Leadership Trek was organized in 2013, it continues to play an essential role in the Harvard University graduate school experience, exposing emerging leaders to locations across Asia whilst providing them with the experiential opportunity to directly investigate political, economic, industrial, and societal issues with thought-leaders and organizations.”

The 21st century is often touted as the Age of Asia, driven by an increasingly affluent and growing middle class hungry for progress and development. But what is the motivation for growth? Are current leaders in sync with the needs and aspirations of the next generation? In Rethinking Asia 3: Political and Social Change, graduate students and Fellows from Harvard, MIT, Tufts and Colombia University who participated in three Asia Leadership Treks and seven Asia Leadership Fellowship Tours organized in 2016, attempt to tackle these questions and more. In addition to venturing for the first time to Central Asia, covering Dushanbe in Tajikistan; Bishkek and Osh in Kyrgyzstan; Almaty and Astana in Kazakhstan; and Tashkent and Samarkand in Uzbekistan, Trekkers and Fellows also made visits to Dhaka, Taipei as well as Shanghai, Singapore, Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Seoul, Incheon, Pohang and Tokyo. From these countries, the Trekkers and Fellows seek to unearth what inspires current leaders in business, government and social enterprise to go beyond their limits and build a thriving Asia for tomorrow’s generations.
