This book examines the strategic and economic logic behind the Bangladesh\u2013China\u2013India\u2013Myanmar (BCIM) Regional Cooperation. According to estimates, BCIM covers approximately 9 percent of the world\u2019s mass and 40 percent of the world\u2019s population spanning across four countries, constituting the confluence of East, Southeast and South Asia. It contributes about 13 percent to world trade but ironically only 5 percent to inter-regional trade. This volume compares the various approaches to cooperation \u2013 trade-led vs project-led, geo-political vs geo-strategic, Sino-centric vs India-led.
