The recently released North Eastern Region Vision 2020 report (2008) provides a magisterial overview of development efforts in the NER,and a roadmap for the region's future. Crucial to this vision is the opening-out of the region to trade and commerce with its natural and historical partners in South East and East Asia through the enhancing of connectivity and the improvement of infrastructure both within the NER itself,and across its international borders. This thrust is in consonance with India's 'Look East Policy' (LEP),enunciated in the early 1990s,and expressed in the country's increasing involvement in multilateral forums of sub-regional cooperation such as SAARC,BIMSTEC,ASEAN,the Mekong-Ganga Cooperation Scheme and the Track Two Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Forum (BCIM),formerly known as the 'Kunming Initiative'. Comprehensive though it is,the Vision 2020 document is relatively inexplicit regarding the gender dimensions of processes of economic liberalization and globalization in India's multi-ethnic North East. Beginning with a review of the Vision 2020 development road-map,this article surveys some recent studies in changing gender relations in the NER,focusing in particular on the traditional and contemporary roles of women in trading activities. It is suggested that similar and comparative case studies in the wider region of the BCIM countries might contribute constructively to gender-sensitive policy design,as well as to theoretical debates on the dilemmas of gender and development.展开更多
