South Asian Cooperation in Industry, Energy and Technology

Since 1981 considerable progress has been made to foster the idea of regional cooperation among the seven South Asian nations. This book examines the rationale and feasibility of promoting cooperation in the inter-related sectors of industry, energy, and science and technology. It looks at empirical, policy and analytical dimensions of economic cooperation; outlines regional and a country-specific areas where collaboration is possible over energy resources; and argues in favour of a regional sharing of the fruits of industrial developement.
