 and the "Centre for Rising Powers":http://www.crp.polis.cam.ac.uk/ invite 
 you to a lecture by Michael Auslin*\n\n*About this event*\n\nSince Marco P
 olo\, the West has waited for the “Asian Century.” Today\, the world b
 elieves that Century has arrived. Yet from China’s slumping economy to w
 ar clouds over the South China Sea\, and from environmental devastation to
  demographic crisis\, Asia’s future is increasingly uncertain. Far from 
 being a cohesive powerhouse\, the Indo-Pacific is a fractured region threa
 tened by stagnation and instability\, in need of greater economic reform\,
  more security cooperation\, and more responsive government. What role can
  the United Kingdom\, Europe\, and the United States play in managing risk
  in Asia over the coming decade? Will President Trump pursue a policy of c
 onfrontation and economic mercantilism\, while reducing America's security
  commitments?\n\n*About Michael Auslin*\n\nMichael Auslin\, a former assoc
 iate professor of history at Yale\, is currently a resident scholar and di
 rector of Japan studies at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington
 \, D.C.\, and author of the recently-published _The End of the Asian Centu
 ry. War\, stagnation and the risks to the world’s most dynamic region_ (
 2017).\n\nCopies of the book will be available for purchase.\n\n"Register
