By looking back on the ALFP’s activities for the past quarter century and reviewing both the significance and remaining challenges of the program, we hope to lay a foundation for the further development of cultural exchange in Asia.

This is the proceedings of the ALFP special symposium held on February 6, 2013.

Challenges and Possibilities of ALFP: What Can Civil Society in Asia Do for the Next Decade?

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 address the various questions and explorations that have resonated among them over the past ten years. It is 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, will be disseminated throughout the region and the rest of the world through this publication.
