INTRODUCTION
That Asia is rising was recognised progressively, starting from around two decades ago, as was stated in the books of, for example, Frank B. Tipton (The Rise of Asia: Economics, Society, and Politics in Contemporary Asia, 1998), Kishore Mahbubani (New Asian Hemisphere: The Irresistible Shift of Global Power to the East, 2008), Terutomo Ozawa (The rise of Asia: The 'flying-geese' theory of tandem growth and regional agglomeration, 2009) or Parag Khanna (The future is Asian: Commerce, Conflict, and Culture in the 21st Century, 2019). The start of rising however had taken place earlier, at least a half-century ago, around 1970, as was demonstrated convincingly by Deepak Nayyar in his two complementary books: Asian Transformation: An Inquiry into the Development of Nations and Resurgent Asia: Diversity in Development (2019).
In 1970, Asia was the poorest continent in the world, marginal except for its large population. By 2016, its share of world GDP rose from less than one-tenth to three-tenths, while its income per capita surpassed that of developing countries and converged towards the world average income level. Growth in GDP and GDP per capita in Asia was much higher than in the world economy, industrialized countries, and the developing world, both Africa and Latin America. Over this period, the share of Asia in world industrial production jumped from a miniscule 4 per cent to more than 40 per cent. Its share of world merchandise trade rose from one-twelfth to one-third.
Is it, then, possible to speculate or hypothesize about the prospects of Asia in the world economy over the next twenty-five years? Long-term macroeconomic forecasts of GDP at market exchange rates, by the Economist Intelligence Unit, suggest that the top ten economies in the world, in 2050, in descending order would be China, United States, India, Indonesia, Japan, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Britain, and France. (Deepak Nayyar, Resurgent Asia).
Beyond the economy, Parag Khanna saw Asia becoming more integrated and moving closer towards a “system”. The Asian system does not, and will not, have rules as formalized as those of Europe. There is no supranational Asian parliament, central bank, or military – no “Asian Union". Instead, the Asian approach to integration involves building complementarities and deferring dangerous issues. Fundamentally, Asians seek not conquest but respect. A sufficient degree of respect for one another’s interests is enough.

MAIN QUESTIONS
The rising Asia described above raises questions: what are the challenges and what are the perspectives for Asia in particular and for the world in general so that the Rise of Asia will benefit not only to Asian peoples but also to other peoples of the world; so that the Rise of Asia allows the world to progress together towards a sustainable prosperity in peace, justice, cooperation, diversity and solidarity?
Those questions concern especially but not excluvisely following divers interrelated fields and issues:
- Culture (ethnicity, identity, diversity, language, literature, arts, crafts, gender and women's issues, patriarchy...);
- Ecology (built and natural environment, architecture, urbanisation, ruralisation, climat change, health, demography, migration...);
- Economy (trade, business, crises, e-commerce, cryptocurrency, blockchain, natural resources, human resources...)
- Politic (geopolitics, geoeconomics, political economy, international relations, sovereignty, colonialism-neocolonialism, wars, genocide, armament...);
- Religion (diversity, pluralism, fundamentalism, extremism, communitarianism, gender and women's issues, male domination, tolerantisme and intolerantisme...).
It is to discuss about those such questions that the 8th edition of the Rise of Asia Conference Series is organised. It encourages the participation of scholars from a wide range of scientific disciplines (area studies, cultural studies, ecology, economics, geography, history, humanities, languages, management, political and social sciences…) and practitioners from diverse professional fields (business, civil society, education, enterprise, government, management, parliament, public policy, social and solidarity movements…) as well as artists and writers, based in diverse geographical areas (Africa, North, Central and South America, Australia, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, Oceania, Pacific…).
