Getting to a Liberal Trade Regime

I wrote two columns on trade liberalisation in Financial Express:

• Where did the Bombay Club go wrong?
• Trade liberalisation: Looking beyond the WTO

Also see:

• Protectionism by India, as seen at Global Trade Alert.
• The Unrelenting Pressure of Protectionism: The Global Trade Alert’s Third Report by Simon J. Evenett, on voxEU yesterday.
• Praveen Kumar Singh has an article in Indian Express, via yahoo about an egregious piece of protectionism that’s proposed by the Indian government: banning foreign shipping companies from carrying intra-India traffic.
• Jean-Pierre Chauffour on voxEU.
• Charu Sudan Kasturi in the Telegraph on fears of heads of universities in India.
• Ashok Desai in Business World, which led me on to Manufacturing protection in India since independence by Garry Pursell, Nalin Kishor and Kanupriya Gupta
