Projected dominance of Asian politics and culture during the 21st century
China and India have the two largest populations in the world, and are expected to grow rapidly economically.
The Asian Century is the projected 21st-century dominance of Asian politics and culture, assuming certain demographic and economic trends persist. The concept of Asian Century parallels the characterisation of the 19th century as Britain's Imperial Century, and the 20th century as the American Century.
A 2011 study by the Asian Development Bank found that 3 billion Asians (so 56.6% of the estimated 5.3 billion total inhabitants of Asia by 2050) could enjoy living standards similar to those in Europe today, and the region could account for over half of global output by the middle of this century.[1]
Some argue that Asia's growing emphasis on solidarity, as well as maturing and progressive relationships among countries in the region, will further underpin the creation of the 21st Asian Century.[2][3][4][5][6][7] However, the sharp divide between China and India marks the end of both countries' hopes of leading the Asian Century.[8][9][10]
