ALFP Publications

For over two decades, various publications were issued in order to disseminate the fruits of the program, to exchange and share ideas with non-Asian counterparts, and to expand the ALFP network within and beyond the region.

Proceedings of ALFP Special Sympo

The Community of Asia: Concept or Reality?

Selected writings by the ALFP fellows were edited into book form and published in May 2006. The book consists of five chapters:

1) Rethinking Asia as a Community;
2) Governance, Democracy and Human Rights;
3) Markets, Development and Happiness;
4) Memory, Religion and Culture, and
5) Public Intellectuals in a Changing Asia

In each chapter the fellows addressed the various questions and explorations that had resonated among them during the preceding ten years. It was hoped that the fellows’ critical discourse in search of the betterment of Asia, emblematic of the richness of Asia’s intellectual resources, as well represented in the ALFP network, would be disseminated throughout the region and the rest of the world through this publication.
