About the product
The countries of South Asia have begun to face a critical crisis of development. Simultaneously, there has been a growing crisis in the structures and institutions of the state which has had an impact on regional cooperation in South Asia. South Asian societies have not made a meaningful transition in conventional terms either to capitalism or to socialism; nor have they been able to integrate their dualistic economies; eradicate the worst forms of poverty; or establish a stable cultural identity. This publication attempts to articulate the alternative pathways to development, democracy and regional cooperation which are available and sustainable in the present South Asian context.
