Reception to follow
 
There is currently a debate among political economists and others in India, China, Indonesia and elsewhere across Asia about the extent to which politics and structural features of their respective political systems may be shaping economic prospects in the region. How significant are these constraints? Will political economies limit economic futures? Might this be an opportune moment to rethink past and future development models?
