Win-win
relationship for ASEAN and Europe
Javier Solana, Nst.com, 27 July 2007
ASIA matters to the European Union. Europe has a major stake in
a stable and prosperous Asia. Our political, security and economic
interests are more intertwined than ever. But our relationship goes
far beyond the economic and trade realm: The European Union and
its Asian partners contribute actively together to resolving regional
and global problems.
We
also share an important vision in which a system of global governance,
with regional structures as its cornerstones, effectively addresses
transnational problems.

Ali: A tripolar Asia is Emerging (Interview)
Economic Times 19 Jul, 2007
We’re seeing the emergence of a tripolar Asia with India,
China and South-East Asia as the three poles. This has three main
implications. One, it will strengthen global, regional, and domestic
integration and ensure sustained growth. Two, catch-up in developing
Asia will require at least a generation with enormous investment
and trading opportunities. Three, the world at large will have to
wake up to both the opportunities and the challenges posed by the
emergence of this new global order.

Economists
call for closer Asian financial integration
PARISTA YUTHAMANOP, Bangkokpost.com, 19 July 2007
The 1997 economic crisis taught Asia the importance of closer financial
co-ordination to mitigate the impact of a crisis, said a group of
leading economists. Masahiro Kawai, dean of the ADB, said closer
trade integration in Asia had created a need for stable intra-regional
exchange rates.

Smoother
trade in East Asia
Editorial, The Japan Times, 16 July 2007
The trade ministry's fiscal 2007 white paper calls for creation
of an "open and seamless" economic system in East Asia
where Japanese companies have already established strong business
networks. Behind the call is recognition that a dynamic East Asian
economy is indispensable for Japan's economic growth.

The
Asian crisis, ten years after
Joseph E Stiglitz, Economic Times, 16 July, 2007
This July marks the tenth anniversary of East Asia’s financial
crisis. In a little more than a year, the Asian financial crisis
became a global financial crisis, with the crash of Russia’s
rouble and Brazil’s real. In the midst of a crisis, no one
knows how far an economy will drop or for how long. But capitalism,
since its beginning, has been marked by crises; each time, the economy
recovers, but each crisis carries its own lessons. So ten years
after Asia’s crisis, it is natural to ask: what were the lessons,
and has the world learned them? Could such a crisis recur? Is another
crisis imminent?

The
India-China equation
Rohit Pandit, Financial Express, 14 July 2007
China’s scorching economic growth continues unabated, and
India needs to seize the opportunities that this presents and take
concerted action to prevent its competitive advantage from taking
a hit in some areas. India must gear up to meet the challenges that
China poses, both in domestic and international markets, and at
the same time identify the areas where we can take advantage of
the large Chinese market.
