About this title

Synopsis

This unique book analyses how further economic reforms and closer relations with East Asian countries could enhance economic growth and integration in South Asia. It makes a powerful and realistic case for a two-pronged strategy in South Asian countries to (i) complete the economic reform process that they had begun in the 1980s and 1990s and (ii) implement the second round of "Look East" policies (LEP2). The book also identifies the unfinished policy reform agenda for each South Asian country and the components of the LEP2 that they should implement.
