South Asian leaders have made it a priority to tackle key regional
issues such as poverty, environment degradation, trade and
investment barriers and food insecurity, among others. This book
considers the leadership of the South Asian Association for
Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and the interaction with civil society
in the process of South Asian regional cooperation and integration,
and discusses how the emerging urgency in the provision of regional
public goods provides an excellent opportunity to add to the
successes in South Asian regional integration. The book explores
civil society's role in regional and economic integration in South
Asian industries, trade and services, and the importance of
regional public goods such as food security for future integration
efforts. It concludes that there are a few successes on which
future cooperation and integration in South Asia can be built and
where engagement with civil society could be productive, and that
these success stories are sector specific - for instance, in
industry and trade sectors where cross-border activities have been
established within the framework of a South Asia Free Trade
Agreement (SAFTA). However, a greater number of success stories are
required at the sector level to serve as building blocks for
further regional cooperation and integration. This highly original
book will prove a fascinating read for academics, students and
policy makers across a diverse range of fields including: Asian
studies, development, economics and regional and urban studies.
