 India’s Interests in Emerging Subregional Cooperation: Opportunities and ChallengesHerkan Neadan Toppo Jadavpur Journal of International Relations, 2016, vol. 20, issue 1, 33-64 Abstract: The aim of the study is to identify the problems and prospects surrounding India’s regional trade and investment patterns with regard to subregional cooperation. There are several factors which appeals to India’s interests in subregional cooperation, with particular emphasis on the idea of development, which puts a high premium on economic growth. This, however, blinds the urgent need for sustainable and equitable benefits and sharing compounding interests. The debate and discourse on the Look East Policy in India’s foreign policy is viewed as an attempt to assert its potential regional stature and consequently try to overcome and move beyond certain imposed limitations in regional priorities. India, South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) countries are viewed as natural trading partners. Besides this, there have also been substantial contributions with regard to progress in India’s trade with other developing countries in Asia and the Pacific region, within the initiations of the formation of Look East Policy among subregional entities.
