Across South Asia in the last two decades, there has been
widespread emphasis on governance reforms aiming to reduce poverty
through Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The recent development
agenda has had great impact over the region , and this book finds
that it largely widens the gap between the rich and poor, which
combined with rising inflation, contributes to political
instability. The book analyses the discourses of development agenda
and governance crisis and provides a survey of the region by not
only focusing on India, Pakistan and Bangladesh but also on the
smaller countries in the region, such as Bhutan. Explaining three
components of the development agenda as criteria for economic
development - poverty reduction, governance reforms and civil
society participation through liberal democracy - this book
explores the consequences of the neo-liberal democracy and recent
development agenda coupled with governance reforms. This work
argues that the political economy of South Asia is largely derived
from experiences of historical colonialism and recent changes
driven by contemporary rise of India as a global power after the
triumph of new-liberal democracy and market capitalism in the
post-cold war era. It proposes a strengthening of the instruments
of endogenous governance and people's participation in South Asian
countries to reduce poverty through MDGs and other development
goals in combination with top-down and bottom up approaches.
Offering an understanding of governance and development in the
context of the South Asia, this book will be of interest to
academics in the fields of Political Economics, International
Development Studies, Political Science, and Governance Studies, as
well as policy makers.
