| Summary/Abstract |
Affordable access to medicines is a key determinant of a country’s resilience to health crises. The modern hyper-connected international trade and production networks have a vital role to play in ensuring this accessibility, especially in the context of a pandemic. This article focuses on medicines and medical equipment and analyses the synergistic role of the two international organisations—The World Trade Organisation (WTO) and The World Health Organisation (WHO), in assuring affordable access to these goods globally. WHO is responsible for global healthcare regulations; however, the medical supply chain originates in a few developed countries, manufactured in bulk (in case of medicine) at low cost in developing countries, and finally traded worldwide. Here, the role of WTO comes in where it facilitates global trade cooperation and intellectual property rights monitoring, both key elements in medical goods production and trading. Despite the need for cooperation in mitigating COVID-19, much of the global response to COVID-19 has been fragmented and inward-looking. This lack of coordination has serious repercussions especially for developing countries. We use qualitative content analysis methodology, connecting concepts of cooperation theory and global governance to identify the joint role of the two organisations in fostering global cooperation in medical goods accessibility.

| Summary/Abstract |
World trade has been the engine of global growth and demand for free and fair global trade free from protectionist measures is still the most accepted desirable norms. We are living in a multipolar global economic order today where global economic major powers have started accepting the role and potential of regional manufacturing hubs. America , China , Italy , Germany , united kingdom , Russia have been governing the global economy for a long time and even maintained their hegemony in global supply chain. But now the multiple trade wars among several global powers have given opportunities to regional manufacturing hubs across the globe to flourish.

| Summary/Abstract |
Self-reliant India campaign is the vision of ‘New India’ envisaged by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The main objective of the campaign is to make the country and its citizens independent and self-reliant in all senses. Thus, the Indian Prime Minister announced a Rs.20 lakh crore economic package under the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan to aid India and to help the country come out of the Corona Virus driven health and economic crisis on May 12, 2020. India could only emerge out of the economic crisis perpetuated by the pandemic by becoming self-reliant i.e., Atmanirbhar. It thus became a mantra (hymn) accorded to the nation by Prime Minister as a catalyst of economic development amidst and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Vietnamese economy has been touted as a major beneficiary of the U.S-China trade war as companies are reportedly relocating factories to Vietnam to rebuild their supply chains. Whether the Southeast Asian country can replace China to become the next “world factory” has become a significant topic of discussion. Vietnam’s GDP grew 6.79 percent in the first quarter of previous year thanks in large part to the growth in its processing and manufacturing sector.
