Mr. Joe Studwell Visiting Research Fellow at the Overseas Development Institute was the guest speaker, who is the prominent scholar with his focus on Asian Economies. The session was moderated by Dr. Nadeem ul Haque – the Vice-Chancellor of PIDE. On behalf of ECOSF, President Manzoor Soomro participated in the webinar. Mr. Joe Studwell gave a detailed talk on what works in the Asian continent especially in the context of economic development in the region. Prof. Joe emphasized the agricultural land reforms programmes instituted and supported by the Northeast Asian countries, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China were instrumental in bringing successful economic revolution in the region. This agricultural development created the demand for developing the basic materials and goods which gradually scaled up to feed in the manufacturing sector.
