Changing the Game: HSBC Series on Asian Emerging Markets
New York: September 2011 - May 2012
As illustrated by companies like India’s Tata Motors or Infosys, China’s Huawei Technologies and Haier Group, Brazil’s Embraer, and Mexico's Cemex, this is the age of the emerging market multinational. Over the next few years, multinationals will power 70% of the world's growth, with 40% coming from just two countries, India and China. To drive these changes, Indian and Chinese conglomerates are forging new networks and trade relationships that are transforming the global economy and shifting the balance to the emerging world.
Changing the Game: Asia's Emerging Markets is a unique four-part series dedicated to evaluating the transformative role played by Asia's emerging markets, a dynamic new network of relationships that are reshaping the global business landscape and shifting the world's economic center of gravity from West to East. Speakers include leading political, academic and commercial figures from the US and around the world.

The Asia-Latin America Axis: Cooperation or Competition?
Latin American and Asia share a long history of economic cooperation and open trade; however, this legacy of economic symbiosis maybe compromised due to arising global forces such as the economic crisis, the emergence of Latin American industries, and the ongoing possibility of political tensions resulting from campaigns for permanent Security Council seats. Asia Society will convene a team of experts to explore the complex and changing relations between the regions.

Shifts in Global Trade Patterns
Today, various global market forces such as rising transportation costs and higher labor wages are prompting multinational corporations to establish or shift manufacturing bases out of China in low-cost destinations such as Vietnam and Mexico. Will China loose it's competitive edge in manufacturing, and what are the implications for Asia’s emerging economies? A panel of experts, including Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China at the Asia Society, will discuss these shifts in international trade.
