Asian Drivers

Key stakeholders

The rise of China and India poses both threat and challenge for growth and development in other low income economies.

Taking advantage of the new opportunities which are opened-up and ensuring that the threats are minimised requires an appropriate response from a number of key stakeholders:

• Governments

• Private sector

• The research community

These responses need to be “joined-up” That is, individual stakeholders need to be aware of the actions of other stakeholders. A failure to consult and coordinate may easily lead to policy failure and an ineffective response to the Asian Driver challenge.
