摘要
Asia is the world's most rapidly developing region. Even so, the majority of Asian nations continue to experience slow-moderate levels of economic growth, high rates of inflation, rapid population growth, and comparatively high levels of ethnic tension and civil unrest. Comparatively weak levels of intra-regional cooperation on a broad range of social, political, economic, and environmental factors contribute to the asynchronous nature of Asia's contemporary development trends. Poverty remains the most dominant feature of development throughout the region.
