Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations Summer Conference

The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) is a partnership between the students and faculty of Harvard University, offering a sustained academic program and a forum of exchange to facilitate discussion of the most important economic, political, and social issues relevant to the Asia-Pacific region. HPAIR's international conference has emerged as the largest annual Harvard event in Asia and the largest annual student conference in the Asia-Pacific region, attracting a wide variety of distinguished speakers and future leaders as Harvard's student outpost in Asia. Past speakers at our conferences include South Korean President Kim Young Sam, Governor General of Australia Peter Hollingworth, Singapore President S.R. Nathan and Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

The conference this year, co-hosted by National Chengchi University, will be held on August 24-28th, 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan. The theme will be "Challenges and Prospects: Envisioning Global Transformations". Our panels will focus on the following seven topics:

• Defining Private: Public Partnerships in Energy and Environment
• Entrepreneurship in Asia: Rising Tigers at the Edge of Innovation?
• The Intersection of Business, Finance, and Government in Asian Economies
• Frontiers in Health and Human Rights
• Asian Attitudes Towards Democracy in International Law
