Gathering contributions from leading academics and international
trade experts from South Asia, this book is dedicated to the late
Dr. Saman Kelegma, whose untimely death in June 2017 left a huge
void in the field of regional economic cooperation. Keeping in mind
his enduring legacy regarding regional cooperation in South Asia,
it covers issues related to the challenges of deeper regional
integration in South Asia and proposes strategies to address these
challenges. It also offers an up-to-date, rigorous academic
analysis of various issues related to low intra-regional trade in
South Asia; prevalence of tariff barriers; incidence of a range of
non-tariff measures; challenges of weak-trade-related
infrastructure and the need for trade facilitation; the political
economics of regional integration, highlighting how bilateral
political relations affect the integration process; low level of
intra-regional investment; South Asia's pattern of integration with
the global and regional value chains; pattern and dominance of
informal trade; and alternative regional integration initiatives in
South Asia, such as the bilateral, regional, and sub-regional trade
agreements within and countries outside this region. Intended
primarily for researchers and students of international trade, and
policymakers from South Asia and beyond, the book is also a
valuable supplementary reference resource for researchers and
students. Furthermore, the pragmatic analysis of the policy options
presented offers guidance for policymakers in South Asia wanting to
implement effective policies and strategies for deeper regional
integration.
India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are
civilisational partners and belong to a shared geography. They not
only share land and maritime borders, engagements between India and
ASEAN have expanded from trade and investment to culture, science
and technology, connectivity and sustainable development. The year
2022 marks the 30 years of partnership between ASEAN and India. In
the last three decades, ASEAN and India have elevated their
relations from the sectoral level to summit level to comprehensive
strategic partnership level. The book Thirty Years of ASEAN-India
Relations: Towards Indo-Pacific, presents rich prescriptions for
the future. It covers a wide range of topics in the fields of
economics, geography, history, archaeology, international trade,
tourism, migration, and infrastructure for transport. The authors
of the chapters are from diverse fields of academic disciplines
from India and the ASEAN. Published to commemorate the 30th
anniversary of ASEAN-India relations, this book is a valuable
resource for practitioners and scholars who are interested in
economic integration. Print edition not for sale in South Asia

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.

features of the crosscutting issues and attempts to draw some
policy implications. The subject of this book will be of special
interests to policy planners, development organisations,
academicians, researchers as well as potential investors. Please

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.

This book comprehensively investigates the challenges to Myanmar's
access to the global market. Myanmar is a late entrant in the
global trade and investment scenario after years of isolation.
However, it has large untapped potentials for trade and investment
in minerals, agro and forest based industries, other labour
intensive industries, services like tourism, IT, etc. Different
chapters of the book explore the implication of democratic
transition of Myanmar, the progress of Myanmar's industry and
infrastructure, its international linkages and feasible options for
integrating more in regional economic groups and also analyses how
far Myanmar could exploit the global value chain. Although a number
of reports have discussed sector specific prospects of Myanmar,
this book is an authoritative work on these aspects for policy
planners, academicians, researchers as well as potential investors.
