<\/a><\/p>\nIt\u2019s now an Asia Society tradition: We take a moment at year\u2019s end to peer into Asia\u2019s future, and put some of our own experts on the spot. What will the new year bring, across that vast and complex part of the world? What trends should we watch for, in business and politics? Which leaders will fare best, and which others will be challenged? What are the storm clouds gathering that might not be readily apparent \u2013 and where might we find the silver linings? This year\u2019s special \u201cExperts Forecast\u201d features leading voices from the Asia Society itself: Asia Society Policy Institute President Kevin Rudd; Asia Society Policy Institute Distinguished Fellow Ian Bremmer; and Asia Society President and CEO Josette Sheeran. The session will be moderated by the Society\u2019s Executive Vice President Tom Nagorski, and will include (as promised) an honest assessment of how last year\u2019s forecasters fared \u2013 when they made predictions on issues as varied as security in Afghanistan and the Iran nuclear negotiations; GDP rates for China and India; cybersecurity and global climate change; even the World Cup tournaments in cricket and soccer.<\/p>\n
