India-ASEAN Partnership in An Era of Globlization
Reflections by Eminent Persons

 

ASEAN-India Partnership has steadily evolved from India becoming a sectoral dialogue partner of ASEAN in 1992 to annual summit level interaction in 2002. The India-ASEAN Eminent Persons Lecture Series was launched in December 1996 with the objective to promote awareness about the reality and potential of the India-ASEAN partnership into the 21st century.

Since its launch, the Lecture Series, coordinated by the RIS, has established itself as an institution of influence and standing. Lectures have been delivered under the Series by very distinguished statesmen and experts from the ASEAN countries in India and by noted Indian experts in ASEAN countries. These Lectures provide valuable reflections on a number of themes concerning the ASEAN-India partnership in the current context of globalization.

This volume puts together these reflections to aid their further dissemination and discussion. These reflections present visionary perspectives and a body of current thinking in the region on many issues of current development concerns in this part of the world that will be found useful by policy makers and scholars in addressing them in the coming years.
