In a multipolar world, where power and influence are dispersed across multiple nations, Asia stands as a critical region to study. With its diverse economies, complex geopolitical dynamics, and growing influence in global governance, understanding Asia is essential for addressing the “wicked problems” of our time—issues like climate change, economic inequality, and technological disruption. Asian countries play a major role in shaping the global economy, environmental policies, and security frameworks.
For Finland, comprehending this shifting global landscape is especially important. The country must navigate the complexities of a world where global power balances are in flux. By deepening our understanding of Asia, we can better analyse the evolving global landscape, contribute to problem-solving initiatives, and engage responsibly in the increasingly complex international environment.
