Integration Experience and Trade Performance of the Indo–ASEAN FTA: Learning by Doing to Live up to Great Expectations

Debashis Chakraborty () and Dipankar Sengupta

Chapter 10 in Competitiveness of the ASEAN Countries, 2010 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In an age of increased necessity for competitiveness of nations and at a time when the world economy is facing recession, this book explores the possible trajectory of ASEAN – arguably one of the most dynamic areas in the world – as a regional economic and political bloc. The expert contributors address the industrial competitiveness of ASEAN and analyse the role of MNEs against the background of the challenges of integration. They illustrate that regional integration will only be a success if ASEAN’s linkages are broadened with global partners through negotiations of Free Trade Agreements. The book concludes that although much still remains to be done, and many promises are still to be unveiled, ASEAN’s ‘coming of age’ is an historic milestone.
