SUMMARY:Global Warming and the Rise of Asia
DESCRIPTION:The India China Institute’s Flagship 2016 event will engage two renowned intellectuals – Amitav Ghosh and Prasenjit Duara – in a conversation on climate change and capitalism in Asia. \nAmitav Ghosh — Empire and the Anthropocene: Asia’s Place in the Genealogy of Global Warming \nIn accounts of the Anthropocene\, and of the present climate crisis\, capitalism is usually the pivot on which the narrative turns. But this narrative overlooks a driver of history that is of equal importance: Empire and imperialism. The relation between capitalism and empire is not\, and has never been\, a simple one: in relation to global warming the imperatives of capital and empire have often pushed in different directions\, producing some unexpected and counter-intuitive results. To look at the climate crisis through the prism of an Empire is to recognize that the continent of Asia is conceptually critical to every aspect of global warming: its causes\, its philosophical and historical implications\, and to the possibility of a global response to it. \nPrasenjit Duara —  Network Asia and the Problem of Sustainability \nThe December 2015 Climate Change Summit was a landmark event for the global recognition of the planetary crisis of sustainability. But as is well known there are significant gaps between recognition and implementation of the largely voluntary commitments; the latter depends upon a range of monumental transformations not only in the market and technological management of carbon emissions but also notions of sovereignty that will have to allow for extra-national monitoring and changes in expectations and life-styles. The same globalization process\, which has brought about this recognition had in the last decade also accelerated capitalist regionalization of the world\, including the re-connection of Asian societies\, especially around China\, India and Southeast Asia\, particularly ASEAN. While policy makers intended the integration of Asia to enhance capitalist competitiveness\, the new or renewed connections will have to be mobilized equally to address problems of regional and global sustainability. What are the forces working for sustainability in the region and how can they be enhanced? \nThe talk will be moderated by Professor David Ludden\, ICI Research Scholar & NYU History Professor. \nFree and open to the public.  Advance registration required.  Please visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/global-warming-and-the-rise-of-asia-tickets-20040708298.
