Introduction: Sustainable Economic Integration in the Asia Context
No full textThe present introductory chapter discusses what makes economic integration sustainable and what are the prerequisites for sustainable economic integration. A financial safety net is without any doubts an important prerequisite, as it would allow crisis-stricken EU countries to rely on financial resources for recovery. Other prerequisites are the more even distribution of the gains arising from high growth rates, in particular of wages , and the introduction of clean energy and innovation. Other aspects analyzed include: the focus on food security and investment in land; the transfer of human resources and the impact of non-tariff barriers between the EU and Asian countries
Unexpected and growing interest in land investments? The Asian case
No full textThe aim of this chapter is to provide an Asian perspective on land investments with particular reference to the European position in terms of land acquisition. At first, the paper recalls the relevance that land holds as a distinct factor of production and consumption. Then, it investigates the different ways employed to define the recent phenomenon of land-grabbing in the increasing literature review. In order to contribute to the discussion on the issue, the second part of the paper is devoted to the examination of the Asian case. Furthermore, it analyses both the direct and the indirect role played by the European Union in influencing and enhancing the phenomenon of land-grabbing in Asia. The chapter concludes with observations and proposals on the impact of land-grabbing
