L’Inde renonce au libre-échange en Asie-Pacifique

L’Inde renonce au libre-échange en Asie-Pacifique | ASIES | Scoop.it

C'est officiel depuis le 4 novembre dernier. L'Inde a renoncé à faire partie du Partenariat économique régional global (RCEP en anglais), cet accord de libre-échange négocié d'emblée sans les États-Unis et qui compte la Chine parmi ses membres. En négociation depuis 6 ans, le RCEP réunira les principales économies d'Asie-Pacifique. Le retrait de New Delhi affaiblit la portée et l'intérêt du futur accord. Un aveu de faiblesse marquant la fragilité d'une économie indienne qui tourne au ralenti et se trouve mal armée pour affronter de plein fouet la concurrence asiatique.

Beyond swidden agriculture: Rethinking approach to fires 

Beyond swidden agriculture: Rethinking approach to fires  | ASIES | Scoop.it

The use of fire in swidden agriculture is not as simple as just burning down the forest. It presents an interconnected relationship between ecological knowledge and socialcultural values. However, swiddening communities are often accused as being one of the contributors to catastrophic fires in Indonesia. In addition, they often become victims of reactive fire policies (e.g. the prohibition of using fire).
