Synopsis

Geo-strategically speaking, South Asia, which represents about one-fourth of the world population, occupies a very important position in the arena of world politics. The regional characteristics are marked by sharp contrasts--on the one hand, South Asia is one of the fastest growing regional economies with declining poverty rates and improvements in human development indicators, and on the other, it is marked by weak governance structures and feeble democratic institutions. It is also home to some of the worst forms of deprivation, poverty, and socio-political conflicts.
