HARVARD PROJECT FOR ASIAN & INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS 7

Dear Delegates, Speakers, Moderators, and Guests: On behalf of the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the HPAIR 2015 Harvard Conference. The world economy continued to experience steady recovery last year, with Asias economic growth outpacing those of other regions. However, strong growth has not necessarily led to better socioeconomic opportunities for all. For example, Chinas GDP growth averages 10% a year, but the countrys income gap continues to widen. Protests at the World Cup highlighted the massive spending and social inequality in Brazil. Several developed countries have also seen increasing income disparity. Thomas Piketty addresses these concerns in Capital in the Twenty-First Century, writing that this soaring economic inequality eventually contributes to political instability. Clearly, economic growth is not an end in itself. We must tackle

inequalitys multifaceted, complex nature in order to create inclusive growth. For this reason, we have chosen the 8th annual Harvard Conference theme as Asias Blueprint for Growth: Building an Inclusive Future. This weekend, you will have the opportunity to connect with each other and discuss what it means to build an inclusive future. You will learn about increasing the presence of women and minorities in leadership positions, innovative healthcare solutions, international cooperation, impact investing, and much more. We hope you will engage in conversations that may challenge, or even alter, your perspectives on these issues. Ultimately, we hope you will continue to use the lessons you have learned from this conference long after the Closing Ceremony has ended. Thank you for participating in the 2015 Harvard Conference, and I look forward to meeting you. Sincerely,

Julie Chang

With the burgeoning of pro-democracy movements across the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large, from the 2011 Arab Spring to Hong Kongs 2014 pro-democracy movements to the 2013-14 Thai political crisis, we have witnessed both heightening hope and discourag-ing destabilization. What are the prospects for these recent democracy movements - do they offer hope for a better future or do they point to the ultimate return or strengthening of a repressive authoritarian regime? Is democracy truly a one-size-fits-all regime? What are the trade-offs between a stable but authoritarian regime and the fight for democracy at the cost of instability, and in some cases, bloodshed? This plenary will engage scholars and delegates in a discussion of the successes and failures of democracy movements in Egypt, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and in extension, the merits and shortcomings of democracy itself.

New York based designer LanVy Nguyen first intended to pursue her artistic aspirations by majoring in environmental & industrial design, but ultimately opted for a more pragmatic route with a business degree in Finance and Marketing - followed by 10 years of financial work with mergers & acquisitions. Yet, after a trade project with Vietnams

She was retained by VINATEX for three additional years, as a consultant on contract negotiation, production, and business development. Traveling to & from Vietnam in this capacity, she often witnessed the exploitation of children and abusive labor practices - and felt moved to do something about it. Encouraged by outside investment who saw potential in her social enterprise, LanVy created a fashion line wrapped around the concept of modern feminity, environmental awareness, and social responsibility. Drawing inspirations from artistic differences of civilizations, LanVy designs for the modern Human -- one that can appreciate the richness of various cultures & their respective sense of beauty. She is inspired by the revolution of KidRobot, by the technicality of flax weaving, by the fashion-forward yet beauty-mindedness of Soeul. Not limited to a genre, she designs because she is moved to create, inspired to do more, aspired to give more. She recalls the stories of those children gone and is compelled to liberate those children hoping to taste freedom and a day untethered.

The Changing Health Landscape of Asia: Solutions for the FutureAsian countries are becoming increasingly burdened by rising healthcare costs every year, managing not only endemic threats of communicable diseases but also soaring rates of chronic, non-communicable diseases. As many countries contin-ue to grow and develop, they also start to face an increasingly aging population, higher tobacco usage, greater food consumption, and worsening of air and water quality. It is no wonder chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma are rising at an alarming rate. Modernization, however, does not only manifest in physical chronic illnesses; with increased competition in finding economic security, rising use of social media, and greater socioeconomic disparities, mental health issues should also be the forefront of concern. Mental illnesses, however, are rarely dis-cussed in many countries due to their associated stigma. How can we address the stigma of seeking care for mental illnesses? With most Asian countries currently ill equipped and lacking in infrastructure for the healthcare challenges that lay ahead, where should they invest in medical and public health interventions to account for this rising need? What models and innovations both within Asia and around the world can leaders emulate or create to better prepare for the changing health landscapes of their nations?
