Abstract
the RCEP need to be put in perspective and/or explained in the context of RCEP. Similarly, Chapter 11 by Kumar and Tripathi presents a broad perspective on protectionism and its repercussions for GVCs. There is little focus on RCEP. It would have done better if the authors were to reflect on how regional economic integration in Asia through RCEP could counter advanced economy contribution to a slowdown in trade growth through increased protectionism. A more focused selection of papers would have made for a far more useful reference for educating the reader as well as providing valuable inputs for ongoing RCEP negotiations. Finally, careful editing could have taken care of typographical errors in the text that, even if minor, can be irritating to the reader.
期刊介绍：
The South Asian nations have progressively liberalized their economies in recent years in an effort to integrate with the world economy. They have also taken steps to enhance multilateral and regional economic integration. Even though the South Asian economies have grown at an average rate of more than 5 per cent over the last few years, roughly 40 per cent of their people still live below the poverty line. Hence, the South Asian region continues to face many challenges of economic and social development. The South Asia Economic Journal (SAEJ) is designed as a forum for informed debate on these issues, which are of vital importance to the people of the region who comprise one-sixth of the world’s population. The peer-reviewed journal is devoted to economic analysis and policy options aimed at promoting cooperation among the countries comprising South Asia. It also discusses South Asia’s position on global economic issues, its relations with other regional groupings and its response to global developments. We also welcome contributions to inter-disciplinary analysis on South Asia. As a refereed journal, SAEJ carries articles by scholars, economic commentators,policy-makers and officials, from both the private and public sectors. Our aim is to create a vibrant research space to explore the multidimensional economic issues of concern to scholars working on South Asia. Among the issues debated in relation to South Asia are: - the implications of global economic trends; - the issues and challenges by WTO; - approaches to industrialization and development; - the role of regional institutions such as the SAARC; - the relationship between SAARC and other regional economic groupings such as ASEAN; - the implications of economic liberalization for trade and investment in the region; - new initiatives that can be launched to enhance economic cooperation among the South Asian countries both on a bilateral and a regional basis.
