Book Launch for Making Meritocracy: Lessons from China and India, from Antiquity to the Present 

This session is open to the public and will be recorded. Registration is required for this Zoom webinar.

How do societies identify and promote merit? Enabling all people to fulfill their potential, and ensuring the selection of competent and capable leaders are central challenges for any society. These are not new concerns. Scholars, educators, and political and economic elites in China and India have been pondering them for centuries and continue to do so today, with enormously high stakes.
