Book Synopsis Economic Integration in South Asia by : Muinul Islam
Download or read book Economic Integration in South Asia written by Muinul Islam and published by Pearson Education India. This book was released on 2010 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Integration in South Asia: Issues and Pathways is one of the volumes of the series titled, Imagine a New South Asia, presented by ActionAid International Asia. This volume envisions a new South Asia, free from human deprivation and poverty, where countries will become successful, proud and inclusive societies. This book demonstrates how South Asian countries can learn from the best practices in the region as well as from their failures, and also by trying to emulate the successful strategies of introducing egalitarian education and health systems of East Asia, China and Southeast Asian countries. Rich in analysis and research, this volume seeks an alternative people-centred perspective, and takes into account all those voices that have so long been unheard in policy-making processes through reviews of case studies. Not only will the findings of this volume be useful in conducting campaigns for appropriate policy and mindset changes, but these will also, eventually, make the emergence of a highly integrated South Asia truly possible.

Download or read book South Asia in the New Decade written by Amitendu Palit and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the second decade of the new millennium, South Asia has emerged as a key regional variable in the contemporary global order. The last decade saw the region experiencing a robust phase of economic growth and development. Over time, South Asia's economic progress is expected to accelerate, given its favourable demography and strategic location. The prospects of faster economic growth and development, however, will materialize depending upon the region's success in handling various challenges including security, climate change, political instability and ethnic strife. It is in this context that the Sixth International Conference on South Asia brought together academics and policy specialists to provide insights and contribute to an understanding of the challenges and prospects facing the region in the new decade. This volume is a collection of the papers presented at the Conference and assembles a large and diverse set of viewpoints and perceptions on the region.

This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows started gaining traction in South Asia from the late 20th century onwards, when nations from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) began moving away from highly controlled regimes and adopting liberal and open economic policies.In the context of surplus labour and capital scarcity faced by South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, to varying degrees, the economic reform process has provided an opportunity to actively promote inward FDI flows, with the goal of providing the much-needed capital for the growth of this region. Several policy initiatives were undertaken to attract FDI and incentives were announced to fascinate investors, resulting in the inflow of FDI across the region.This book examines FDI inflows in SAARC nations in the light of regional policy changes in the 21st century. It investigates the relationship between trade and FDI in the region, and also provides insights into the ease of doing business in the SAARC region.

Book Synopsis Regionalism and Regional Security in South Asia by : Zahid Shahab Ahmed
Download or read book Regionalism and Regional Security in South Asia written by Zahid Shahab Ahmed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zahid Shahab Ahmed evaluates the progress of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). This study goes beyond economic integration to present a detailed appraisal of cooperation under the overarching themes of economic cooperation, environmental security, human welfare, and cooperation in security matters. According to the author, SAARC is making progress in addressing the myriad of issues on its agenda. The transition from agreements to actions and frequent interactions among the member states has boosted confidence. The progress of SAARC is more evident in the less controversial areas of human security, such as poverty alleviation, health and safety, human resources development, and higher education. Notwithstanding enthusiastic commitments reflected in agreements and action plans, there is a gulf between rhetoric and implementation most notably in sensitive areas relating to traditional security. In the light of the findings of this study, the author proposes that greater cooperation in common human security areas has a potential to pave the way for a cooperation on issues of a ’contentious’ nature, particularly terrorism.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Regionalism in South Asia by : B. Mohanan
Download or read book The Politics of Regionalism in South Asia written by B. Mohanan and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 1992 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Study Is A Modest Attempt To Apply The Integration Theory To The Analysis Of Trends And Shifts In Inter¬Dependence (Intra-And Extra-Regional) In South Asia. Distinction Between The Integration Models That Emerged In Western Europe And The South Asian Integration Is Discernible. The External Relations Of The Saarc Members Are Having Positive And Negative Impacts On The Integrative Process In This Region. Thus Bilateral Relations And External Ties Are The Major Considerations In This Study.This Study Brings Home The Fact That The Supranational Handling Of Political And Economic Issues Are Not Possible In A Developing Region Where Sove¬Reignty Is Jealously' Guarded. The Third World Integration Model As Pro¬Vided By Lynn Mytlka Is Found Useful In The South Asian Context. Mytelka'S Type-Ill Model Considers The Condi¬Tions Of Dependence. But In South Asia It Is Very Difficult To Attain Type Iii Integration Scheme.Since 'Primacy Of The Political' Is Underscored In A Third World Integra¬Tion Scheme, Relatively High Degree Of Political Integration At The Outset Is A Logical First Step. This High Level Politi¬Cal Integration Has Got Two Aspects Viz. (I) Bilateral And (Ii) External. Projec¬Tion Of Common Regional Front In Dealing With External Powers Will Have A Spill Over Effect On Bilateral Relations. Without Improving Bilateral Relations Vital Economic Areas Cannot Be Brought Under The Regional Scheme.It Is Found That India Has Got A Special Role In Regional Co-Operation In South Asia Since The Whole Region Is 'Indo-Centric And India Dominated'. Good Neighbourly Relations Incorporating The Ideals And Aspirations Of The Smaller South Asian Countries Would Ulti¬Mately Result In Widening The Scope Of Saarc Regionalism. At The Present Stage 'Deepening' Rather Than 'Widen¬Ing' Should Be Given Priority. The Attempt Should Be To Diminish The Dimensions Of Conflict Rather Than The Outright Elimination Of It. Saarc Is A Compound Of Interests. Settling Of Bilateral Disputes Is Not Mathematically Achievable.
Book Synopsis Manufacturing and Jobs in South Asia by : Sachin Chaturvedi
Download or read book Manufacturing and Jobs in South Asia written by Sachin Chaturvedi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the structural factors that underlie the persistent mass poverty and extreme inequality in South Asian countries. It highlights the fact that the supposed trade-off between output growth and job creation is a false dilemma. Growth can create jobs, and jobs can drive growth, mutually reinforcing one another. Increased employment and better jobs would mitigate the problems arising from a widening inequality gap. The book argues that policies focused on employment generation, mostly through industrialization, are the way forward in terms of providing livelihoods, sustaining growth and reducing inequality. The book is divided into two main parts. Part A explores cases in selected countries in South Asia in detail, primarily focusing on the opportunities and challenges of job creation in the manufacturing sector, as well as related issues, including constraints on manufacturing-sector growth in South Asia, exports and trade linkages, participation in value chains and the role of investment. In turn, Part B addresses a number of aspects that can promote a deeper understanding of strategies for industrialization and employment creation in the South Asian context, including regional cooperation, skill development, and industrial competitiveness. Gathering contributions from some of the region’s top minds, this book is of interest to scholars, researchers, policymakers and industry analysts alike.

Book Synopsis Trade in Health Services in South Asia by :
Download or read book Trade in Health Services in South Asia written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book observes that an in-depth study exclusively focusing on health service trade not only strengthens the overall services trade capacity of the South Asian region, but also promotes global as well as regional trade. There is a dearth of analytical research on estimating barriers to trade in health services, particularly in the context of South Asia, and as such, this book assesses the potential benefits and economic costs of barriers to trade in health services in select South Asian economies. It also analyzes the impact of liberalization and regulatory reforms on economic welfare. It broadly addresses issues relating to trade in health services, the GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services), such as: Why are the current levels of trade in health services low? How will the GATS legally affect a countrys health policy? What effect might liberalization have on national health systems? And what are the likely benefits of greater trade in health services? It also provides specific answers to the following questions: Does the substantial role of the government in health - as health service provider, financial supporter, regulator and promoter - have implications for the treatment of the sector under the GATS? What is the impact of liberalization of international trade in health services on the quality and availability of health services in developing SAARC countries? Given the importance of consumption abroad for trade in health services, and the gradual opening of health markets through Modes 1 and 3 (cross-border supply and commercial presence), how can problems associated with trade in these Modes be prevented? And are these problems sufficiently addressed by GATS disciplines? Answers to these questions will be of great use to researchers, policy makers as well as practitioners and NGOs of South Asia.
