years. The target is to balance costs and benefits of national water
assets in our socio-economic environment. Highlighting 50 years
of developments in the water sector was Dr. Mogens Dyhr-Nielsen,
who delivered the Second AIT Distinguished Adjunct Faculty
(DAF) Seminar on 22 September 2015.
Dr. Mogens, who served as Associate Professor of Hydrology and
Water Resources as a seconded faculty member at AIT from 1984-
86, strongly advocated the creation of what he called a 'Ministry of
Water Assets' that could ensure a synchronisation of development
objectives with management issues. Policy, institutions and instru-
ments have to work towards achieving social, economic and sustain-
able objectives, he said. Dr. Mogens was introduced by Dr.Apichart
Anukularmphai, President of the Thailand Water Resources Asso-
ciation and Member of the AIT Executive Committee.
However, can this lead to the emergence of more developmental
states? Is China moving towards being a developmental state? These
issues were raised by Dr. Trevor Parfitt of the University of Notting-
ham, Malaysia, while delivering a talk on “Neo-Liberalism or the
State” on 15 September 2015 at AIT.
Dr. Trevor reasoned that the EastAsian experience counters the neo-
liberal assertion that policy efforts in social protection hinder eco-
nomic growth in developing countries. In Asia, many states under-
took successful development strategies, including the famous “Four
Tigers” namely Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Singapore.
Similarly Malaysia and Thailand also achieved a measure of success
in creating conditions for economic growth.
try. These were some of the thoughts shared by Mr. Franck Fougere,
Managing Director, Ananda Intellectual Property Ltd., who deliv-
ered a talk on “Intellectual Property Strategies and Sharing of Best
Practices” at AIT on 7 September 2015.
Speaking on IP strategies for universities, Franck remarked that
80 per cent of IP is about strategy and it clearly overrides legal is-
sues. He highlighted the dilemma of researchers who want to pub-
lish their research results vis-á-vis getting a patent for their work.
Dr. Orakanoke Phanraksa, Manager, Intellectual Property Policy
Group,Technology Management Center, National Science and
Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), and Chalalai Sutton,
Licensing Consultant, NSTDA also spoke on the occasion.
