"Asian Books Conglomerate is doing librarians, researchers and the general reader a great service by putting together a clearing house of the books published by small but nevertheless quality niche publishers scattered around the vast spans of Asia, from the Arab World in the west to pacific archipelagos in the east; from Siberia in the north to the nations in the Indian Ocean in the south..”
- Lance L. P. Gore, National University of Singapore
"..the Asian Books Conglomerate is a timely initiative that captures increasing academic and popular media attention paid to the important and significant but amorphous entity of 'Asia'. The initiative is likely to engage interested global audiences and their perspectives, encapsulating what 'Asia' means from a wide variety of perspectives.."
- Tai Wei Lim, Chinese University of Hong Kong

While Asia has been integrating rapidly with the global economy, there is clear evidence of closer de facto intra-Asian integration as well. Of particular interest in this regard has been the rise of intra-regional FDI flows. Investments in the region by Japanese multinationals are not something new, having been fuelled partly by the Plaza Accord of 1984-85. This was followed by intra-regional investments by companies from high income economies such as Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. An interesting phenomenon in recent times (since early 2000), however, has been the rise of investments by Chinese and Indian companies around the world and in particular, in the rest of Asia. The phenomenon of South-South FDI flows, particularly those arising from multinationals from China and India, has generated significant interest from policymakers, academia and the popular press in recent times. What is the rationale for motivations behind the rise of such intra-regional flows and the investment and diversification strategies of Asian multinationals? What is the magnitude of such flows, and can they be expected to persist/accelerate over time? What are the challenges faced by emerging market multinationals and future prospects of intra-Asian FDI flows?
