In a changing world order, the so-called emerging economies are increasingly poised to assume new and enhanced roles at the global stage. This global metamorphosis however, has not so far, been matched by deeper and coordinated policy reflection among the emerging countries themselves.

 

On November 14^th 2011, School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University (SPPM) will co-host a two-day dialogue on “Emergying Economy Perspective and Priorities in the New Multi-polar World” with Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) and Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy (BTC).  The objective of the Conference is to broaden and deepen the ongoing research dialogue among emerging economy scholars, experts and high-level policy-makers. 

 

This conference is part of a two-year project entitled “Emerging Economies Research Dialogue”, with the support of a generous grant from the Regional Office for South Asia and China of the International Development Research Centre, Canada.

      

       The themes/sub-themes of the four sessions in this dialogue are as follows:

       •Financing of universal health care coverage
