Since the Second World War, Asian nations have Reality and Challenges experienced some of the fastest economic growth in the world. Yet, paralleling the extraordinary growth, unequal development has generated economic and regional imbalances, particularly in the ultramodern Edited by metropolises and littoral zones. The development Huhua Cao experience in the world over the last century has shown that economic growth cannot be sustained without taking into consideration the social and political development of vulnerable populations, including greater recognition of minority rights. Better minority socioeconomic and political accommodations have contributed to society’s overall well being and the sustainability of economic growth. Integrating minorities as part of their development is a challenge of immense magnitude that Asian societies are facing. Within this context, the objective of Ethnic Minorities and Regional Development in Asia: Reality and Challenges is to support the interdisciplinary discussion that aims to join studies surrounding the development of minorities in Asia. )3".
