The ASEAN-India economic integration has made substantial progress in recent years. India’s engagements with Southeast and East Asia have received new momentum under the Act East Policy (AEP). In 2017, ASEAN and India will be celebrating 25 years of their dialogue relations. The relationship is set to deepen in coming days as ASEAN and India step up their collaboration across a range of economic and strategic issues, including trade and connectivity, culture, people-to-people links, trans-national terrorism, and maritime security. However, both of them have been facing several challenges which call for concerted efforts by ASEAN and India. With ASEAN and India working towards establishing a Comprehensive Free Trade Area through Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement, their cooperation will be key in promoting economic stability, competitiveness, growth and integration in the region.This book is a timely initiative to review the past and suggest the ways to further strengthen the economic partnership. It primarily deals with the economic integration issues between ASEAN and India, and assesses policy priorities, effectiveness, implementation imperatives and challenges. Each chapter in this book tries to capture essential features of the crosscutting issues and attempts to draw some policy implications. It will be a valuable reference for policymakers, academics and practitioners.Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka

This book examines Indo-Pacific issues from a Southeast Asian perspective and goes beyond discourses such as ASEAN–China or ASEAN–US–China. It analyses the new regional balances in the ASEAN and Indo-Pacific region at the diplomatic, strategic and economic levels while taking into account the ongoing uncertainty of the international order, reshaped by the post COVID-19 crisis and characterised by the increasingly adversarial China-US relations, the sensitive context of South China Sea and Taiwan crisis and the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine. It highlights Indo-Pacific not only from a geostrategic angle but an economic one, considering ASEAN amidst competing connectivity strategies and integration challenges.The book offers an inclusive outlook capturing diversity and convergence of strategies in a key region where the stage of tomorrow’s global order will be decided. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics and international relations and Area Studies, especially Southeast-Asian Studies and Indo-Pacific Studies.

This book unravels the complex spectrum of trade policy in India with the help of partial and general equilibrium models. It evaluates India’s recent trade deals with the UAE, Australia, European Free Trade Area (EFTA), and Mauritius, among others.Using applied general equilibrium methods to analyse recent debates about the conduct of India’s trade policy, this book aims to present how the barriers to trade have been affecting trade flows. It further presents a set of large-scale computable general equilibrium simulations of the effects of changes in trade barriers. It also explores India's need to deal strategically with China and provide different economic solutions, despite the conflicts along their international borders. Moreover, it focuses on how India, through its trade orientation, needs to manage its natural resources and deal with land scarcity.The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of international trade and finance, business economics, and econometrics. It will also be of interest to foreign trade experts, researchers, policy makers and government officials, among others.

Inefficient ports can stall a country’s trade growth and also increase the costs of transportation. Rising inefficiencies in ports have therefore forced the governments all over the world to deregulate the port system. The port sector in several developing countries has been undergoing revolutionary transformation from a subsistence infrastructure resource into a more capital intensive, commercially oriented facility during the last two decades. In India, awareness towards the impact of port infrastructure on economic development in general and international trade in particular has increased in recent years partly as a result of rising trade transportation costs. One of the objectives of this book is therefore to understand the role the port plays in India’s economic development. The book tries to quantitatively evaluate the structural metamorphosis in Indian port sector. The main emphasis of the book is on performance evaluation, technological change, total factor productivity growth, market concentration, and competitiveness of Indian ports for the last two and a half decades. This book deals with these vital issues and questions through a detailed analytical framework. Above all, one protracted objective of this book is to create a ground for discussion on various aspects of port development and the resultant policy action.
