Bilateral Track: the case of the India-Sri Lanka free trade agreement / Kelegama, Saman   Journal Article
Kelegama, Saman Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract The India-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement (ISLFTA) shows how bilateral cooperation can lead the way for regional cooperation. In operation, it has led to the rapid growth and diversification of Sri Lanka's exports to and imports from India. India's investment in Sri Lanka has also increased; India is now the second largest investor in Sri Lanka; and service sector cooperation has followed the growth of trade and investment. There were problems along the way but they were resolved. Moreover, this economic cooperation has overshadowed whatever political problems there were in the past. Now a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement is expected to come into operation by the end of December 2006. The ISLFTA dispels the myth that economic cooperation between a large and small country benefits only the large country. Dormant complementarities can be invigorated through a bilateral free trade agreement, and new comparative advantages can be discovered, further stimulating trade.

Viewing India-Sri Lanka ties through prism of power game with China as reductive / Ghosh, Pitam   Journal Article
Ghosh, Pitam Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract It is now commonplace to view India-Sri Lanka bilateral ties through the lens of New Delhi’s great power game with Beijing. The debate is being increasingly framed in terms of Sri Lanka being the platform for India-China strategic competition or the ”battleground” for India-China rivalry. Such an eventuality is inevitable given the aggressive rise of a revanchist China that seeks to bend the political, economic and security framework of Asia in accord with its geopolitical will. It leaves little space for a sluggish India to maintain its traditional spheres of influence.
