Mahbub ul Haq Human Development Centre's 2009 Report on Trade and
Human Development in South Asia focuses on the imperative of
linking the wellbeing of people to the trade-led economic growth
that is happening in South Asia now. The human development model
asserts that economic growth that is not linked to people cannot be
sustained either socially or politically. Liberalization of trade
must be complemented by well-designed equitable policies that serve
as an engine for employment creation, capacity building, and
poverty alleviation. However, the relationship between trade, human
development and economic growth is not straight forward. That link
has to be created consciously by forward-looking policies and
strategies by both national governments and multilateral trade
negotiating bodies. The Report presents critical analyses of
agricultural, non-agricultural and services trade of South Asia,
and it raises the issues of how the current trade negotiations have
not yet addressed the concerns of developing countries. The Report
argues that to sustain economic growth and enhance human
development, South Asia needs to negotiate seriously at the
multilateral trading forums, and also to use the regional forum
(SAARC) to advance its economic and social goals. The wealth of
data collected for the Report on South Asia's human development and
trade-related indicators will be valuable for policymakers and
academic researchers.
