Asia-Africa Growth Corridor Development and Cooperation in Indo-Pacific
Asia-Africa Growth Corridor “Chaturvedi, Prakash and Dash bring together insightful essays that flesh out the idea of Asia-Africa Growth Corridor articulated in 2016 by the Prime Ministers of India and Japan, Narendra Modi and Abe Shinzo. The important volume suggests pathways for pooling India’s historic connections in Africa and Japan’s long experience in promoting development in third countries to transform the ties between Asia and Africa. In helping bridge the two ‘two continents’, the Asia-Africa Growth Corridor will transform the ‘two oceans’ into a sustainable new geography–the Indo-Pacific.” —C. Raja Mohan, Director, Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS), NUS, Singapore “For centuries the Indian Ocean has been the maritime highway linking Africa with Asia. Now the Africa-Asia Growth Corridor initiative of India and Japan aims to spearhead a more systematic engagement and connectivity between the two continents in the interests of development. This timely volume unpacks the multidimensional Africa-Asia Growth Corridor, from trade and investment to health, agriculture and capacity building. It highlights the critical developmental benefits that can ensue from this partnership and is a must-read for African and Asian policymakers and scholars interested in leveraging the potential of cooperation.” —Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, SAIIA, Johannesburg, South Africa “Asia-Africa Growth Corridor is a painstaking diagnosis of pathways to mutually beneficial relations between the peoples of Asia and Africa. The authors skillfully take us from the joint vision of political leaders of two Asian countries that have made giant leaps in development, to the practicalities of sharing such advances with the peoples of the African continent, with mutual benefit. The book delves through the avenues of South-South and Triangular Cooperation, with India and Japan on supporting vertices that can assist Africa’s quest for progress in the post-pandemic phase. The Asia-Africa Growth Corridor crystalizes a sober endeavor in search of models of development and regional cooperation. It is a must read for scholars, business people, and public officers interested in Asia-Africa development.” —Roberto J. Tibana, Maputo, Mozambique
