This three-volume set brings together a comprehensive selection of
papers on development policy making and economic performance in the
five major economies in South Asia - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh,
Nepal and Sri Lanka - during the past half a century of the post
colonial era. Volume I covers economic conditions at the time of
independence, and broader patterns of economic development against
the backdrop of policy transition from import-substitution strategy
to economic restructuring through liberalisation, and the
underlying political economy. The next two volumes are arranged
thematically: Volume II covers agriculture and the rural economy,
industrialisation and finance and development and Volume III deals
with the external dimension of development, population dynamics and
human resource development, and poverty and income distribution.
The economic debates in South Asia, particularly in India, have
been wide-ranging and intellectually stimulating, with active
participation of a number of pioneers in development economics. The
existing knowledge on a number of key issues, such as the role of
development planning, foreign trade regimes and economic
development, the political economy of rent-seeking, choice of
technology, causes of famines, sex bias in poverty, and poverty and
public policy, have been shaped significantly by the South Asian
experience. This three-volume set will therefore be a valuable
reference not only for the South Asian specialist but also for all
students and practitioners in the field of economic development.
