Asia and Europe in the New Global Framework - The India Group

The India Group

At the initiative of the ECIA, a research team named “The India Group” has been created in 2006. The group operates as part of "Asia Maior", an association of scholars that has been active since 1989, and publishes every year a volume on the Asian economies. The approach being more geopolitical than geographic or economic, the focus is on the Indian subcontinent, i.e. the area in which New Delhi plays his hegemonic role: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Sikkim and Buthan, but not Burma.

This "India Group" is constituted by:

- Diego Abenante 
Professor of History and Institutions of Asia, University of Trieste;

- Elisabetta Basile
Professor of Economic Development, University of Rome "La Sapienza";

- Giuseppe Sacco
Professor of International Relations and World Economic Systems, Luiss University of Rome;

- Michelguglielmo Torri
Professor of Modern and Contemporary History of Asia, University of Turin
 

For some months the "India Group" has been working on a Research Project on "India in the International Economy: recent evolution and medium-term trends".
