ASIA RISING
:
TOWARDS EASTERN HEGEMONY
?
SOUTH ASIA AND THE ASIAN RESURGENCE
14
As Asia rises to global preponderance again, after centuries of subjection
or stagnation, Western powers are vying to simultaneously engage and
contain their emerging rivals in order to maintain their dominance.
Building international regional cooperation in Asia is vital for the
achievement of sustainable peace and prosperity. It is hoped that
SAARC will help meet this goal, writes
Eduardo Fuleiro.
ASEAN REGIONAL ECONOMIC SECURITY: THE ROLES OF
ASEAN AND SAARC
18
Bharti Chhibbershows that regional economic associations, inspired
by the European Union are increasingly seen as necessary for the
achievement of economic security in
a multipolar
context of global
interdependence. In Asia, ASEAN and SAARC are the most significant
international groupings of this type and in recent years have come
mutually closer while increasing their influence in the realms of trade,
cooperation for development and financial policies. However, the
member states of bom associations are wary of unmitigated trade
liberalisation and are reluctant to intervene in each other s internal
affairs.
A REGIONAL FUND FOR THE LEAST DEVELOPED
COUNTRIES OF ASIA
44
The massive economic growth in Asia as a whole tends to hide the
disparities between its component states. The least developed countries
(LDCs) are falling further behind and their trade deficit with China
is rising yearly. The vast foreign currency reserves of the leading

Asian economies are also creating domestic inflation and could be
profitably invested in LDCs, helping to close the gap and promote
intra-regional demand and trade. Ramesh Gampat suggests setting
up a regional fund to further this strategy.
APPRECIATION OF THE INDIAN CURRENCY:
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE INDIAN ECONOMY
52
The almighty US dollar has finally proven to be vulnerable, as most
currencies have seen sharp appreciations against it in the past few
months. An appreciating rupee implies cheaper imports and India s
imports are more than its exports. Other goods like gold and crude oil
also become cheaper as a result and hence reduce inflation. In fact,
whenever the currency of a country moves up, it is usually implicit that
the economy of the country is doing well, but implications are not
always verified in reality and a rising Indian currency may lead to a
problem of plenty. Sumanjeet Singh shows that in the long run, the
Indian economy has less to lose and more to gain from it
.
INDIA S RISING POWER: MYTH OR REALITY?
70
India s widely acclaimed rise on the global scene masks certain
enduring structural weaknesses in the country s polity which put
it at a serious disadvantage
vis-à-vis
China. India has been unable
so far to integrate states located on its periphery within its
economy and build a coherent, pro-active foreign policy. The
country s alleged soft
power may
not yield real, enduring benefits
unless its hard industrial and trading power is enhanced.
Zorawar Daulet Singh argues that at present India s national
security is under serious threat, both from its neghbours and from
internal factors.
INDIA S HIMALAYAN FRONTIER: STRATEGIC CHALLENGES
AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
82
The Himalayas separate the two largest states in Asia, China and
India along a still disputed boundary line drawn by the British
colonial administration. The world s highest mountains

also cradle various smaller nations which India has traditionally seen
as buffer states, in line with Lord Curzon s doctrine. In this era of
growing Asian economic and strategic cooperation, India must revise
this concept of
tlie
Himalayan borders. Vijay Kapur points out that
the need is for continental community building, no longer so much
for protection of the Raj from potential invaders.
CHINA IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY: A THREAT TO
THE UNITED STATES?

take stock of the fact that in
recent years, China has become a dominant player on the world
stage and its economic rise has important global implications. This
essay investigates the country s achievements, its path towards
greater development, the challenges it faces and the implications of
its growth for the United States. It concludes that the US
—
and
the West as a whole
—
ought to take the threat from China
seriously, in terms of costs to its economy and the environment
and more generally in terms of Chinese global dominance.
THE EMERGING CIVIL SOCIETY IN CHINA—THE
POST-REFORM PERIOD
108
Civil society today is seen as a necessary component of a liberal,
modern society as well as a check on the powers of the state.
Gunjan Singh shows that in China, civil society in a specific form,
has been building since the early twentieth century and is now
being decisively shaped by the internet and other globalising
factors. It can be a liberating force from a totalitarian system but
it can also become a vector of influence for instrument of control
by supra-national imperialist economic and political forces.
JAPAN S FRESH BID FOR A UNSC PERMANENT SEAT:
PROWESS, PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
. 118
For over three decades, Japan has consistently pursued the goal of
winning a permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council
(UNSC). So far, it has not been successful in achieving its long¬
standing ambition due to a number of domestic and international

examines why Japan deserves a UNSC
permanent seat and whether its membership, in a manner
commensurate with its world status as an evolving catalytic soft
power and a major contributor to the United Nations, would make
a meaningful difference for the renovated universal body in the years
ahead.
PUTIN S MISSION IN THE RUSSIAN
THERMIDOR
142
Following a period of post-Soviet turmoil and economic crisis,
Russia is going through a process of stabilisation and reconstruction.
Though he rose to power with the support of some of the most
notorious profiteers of the Yeltsin era, President Putin has managed
to restore the clout and prestige of the state at home and abroad while
bringing the buccaneering oligarchs under control. According
to Alec Rasizade he has instituted a distincdy nationalistic form of
free market authoritarianism reminiscent of Bonapartism, while
rebuilding the Russian empire in a new, more sustainable form, as an
indispensable balancing power between Asia, Europe and North
America.
