Megha Mukim

Ms. Mukim will focus her research on potential impact of a China-India free trade agreement which is currently being negotiated. In agreements such as NAFTA and SAFTA, regional trading partners have been lowering barriers to trade and investment flows despite confusing economic arguments and clear domestic disagreements. If a similar agreement is reached between China and India, the implications for international trade will be great. The benefits and pitfalls of such an agreement are worthy of study and Ms. Mukim hopes to be one of the first scholars to take an in depth look at possibilities of such an important trade landmark.
