Summary/Abstract |
ASEAN and China share a complex relationship in economic terms; while they collaborate in several spheres, conflict of interests is not uncommon either. The proposal for an ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) was floated in 2000, and the agreements covering merchandise trade, services trade and investment collaboration were signed in 2004, 2007 and 2009 respectively. ASEAN countries agreed to consider China as a market economy in the course of the negotiations and the ACFTA has resulted in several benefits for both parties, including tariff reduction on substantial number of product lines, considerable growth in merchandise and services trade volume, deepening of intra-regional production networks, regional cooperation on infrastructural development and so on. However, rapid growth of Chinese imports in ASEAN markets and expanding trade deficit generates apprehension in the grouping over potential domestic restructuring. Subisidies provided by the Chinese government to its domestic players also compound the problem. This article concludes that ASEAN countries need to augment their competitiveness through coordinated efforts on the one hand, and jointly negotiate with China to curb the disruptive effects of the latter's incentive programmes, on the other.

Summary/Abstract |
In the last decade, infrastructure development initiatives across borders, both in South and Southeast Asia, have emerged as a major tool of economic diplomacy, practiced both by China and India. Indeed, it was China's successful experience of linking with the neighbourhood that motivated India to try to extend influence as well as trade beyond its borders. India's success at developing cross-border connectivity is still quite modest compared to China's achievements, but in the long term, India's connectivity drive in its immediate and extended neighbourhood should contribute significantly to supporting its economic growth and providing a counterbalance to Chinese influence in the region.

Summary/Abstract |
Since the initiation of economic reforms in 1991, 'Look East Policy' has been a major component of India's trade diplomacy. During the first decade after inception of WTO, India relied heavily on the multilateral trade reforms for securing export growth, but slow progress of the Doha Round negotiations caused it to shift focus on the regional trade agreements (RTAs) instead from 2004 onwards. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Southeast Asia emerged as India's natural trade partner with its lucrative market but the negotiations proved to be a complex exercise. The Indo-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA) covering merchandise products has boosted bilateral trade flows, but the balance of trade has improved in ASEAN's favour. The current article attempts to analyse the potential trade effects for India from its deepened trade relationship with ASEAN through the proposed Indo-ASEAN comprehensive economic cooperation agreement (CECA) covering trade in services and investment provisions.
