Download or read book Connecting South Asia and Southeast Asia written by ADBI and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes how closer regional connectivity and economic integration between South Asia and Southeast Asia can benefit both regions, with a focus on the role played by infrastructure and public policies in facilitating this process. It examines major developments in South Asian–Southeast Asian trade and investment, economic cooperation, the role of economic corridors, and regional cooperation initiatives. In particular, it identifies significant opportunities for strengthening these integration efforts as a result of the recent opening up of Myanmar in political, economic, and financial terms. This is particularly the case for land-based transportation—highways and railroads—and energy trading. The report’s focus is on connectivity in a broad sense, covering both hardware and software, including investment in infrastructure, energy trading, trade facilitation, investment financing, and support for national and regional policies.

Download or read book The Economics of Climate Change in Southeast Asia written by Asian Development Bank and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a review of the economics of climate change in the Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam. It confirms that the region is highly vulnerable to climate change and demonstrates that a wide range of adaptation measures are already being applied. The report also shows that the region has a great potential to contribute to greenhouse gas emission reduction, and that the costs to the region and globally of taking no early action against climate change could be very high. The basic policy message is that efforts must be made to apply all feasible and economically viable adaptation and mitigation measures as key elements of a sustainable development strategy for Southeast Asia. It also argues that the current global economic crisis offers Southeast Asia an opportunity to start a transition towards a climate-resilient and low-carbon economy by introducing green stimulus programs that can simultaneously shore up economies, create jobs, reduce poverty, lower carbon emissions, and prepare for the worst effects of climate change.
Download or read book South Asia in the World An Introduction written by Susan S Wadley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book in the new Foundations in Global Studies series offers a fresh, comprehensive, multidisciplinary introduction to South Asia. The variations in social, cultural, economic, and political life in this diverse and complex region are explored within the context of the globalising forces affecting all regions of the world. In a simple strategy that all books in the series employ, the volume begins with foundational material (including chapters on history, language, and, in the case of South Asia, religion), moves to a discussion of globalisation, and then focuses the investigation more specifically through the use of case studies. The cases expose the student to various disciplinary lenses that are important in understanding the region and are meant to bring the region to life through subjects of high interest and significance to today's readers. Resource boxes, an important feature of the book, are included to maintain currency and add utility. They offer links that point readers to a rich archive of additional material, connections to timely data, reports on recent events, official sites, local and country-based media, visual material, and so forth. A website developed by Syracuse University's South Asia Center will feature additional graphic, narrative, and case study material to complement the book.
Download or read book The Politics of Regionalism in South Asia written by B. Mohanan and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 1992 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Study Is A Modest Attempt To Apply The Integration Theory To The Analysis Of Trends And Shifts In Inter¬Dependence (Intra-And Extra-Regional) In South Asia. Distinction Between The Integration Models That Emerged In Western Europe And The South Asian Integration Is Discernible. The External Relations Of The Saarc Members Are Having Positive And Negative Impacts On The Integrative Process In This Region. Thus Bilateral Relations And External Ties Are The Major Considerations In This Study.This Study Brings Home The Fact That The Supranational Handling Of Political And Economic Issues Are Not Possible In A Developing Region Where Sove¬Reignty Is Jealously' Guarded. The Third World Integration Model As Pro¬Vided By Lynn Mytlka Is Found Useful In The South Asian Context. Mytelka'S Type-Ill Model Considers The Condi¬Tions Of Dependence. But In South Asia It Is Very Difficult To Attain Type Iii Integration Scheme.Since 'Primacy Of The Political' Is Underscored In A Third World Integra¬Tion Scheme, Relatively High Degree Of Political Integration At The Outset Is A Logical First Step. This High Level Politi¬Cal Integration Has Got Two Aspects Viz. (I) Bilateral And (Ii) External. Projec¬Tion Of Common Regional Front In Dealing With External Powers Will Have A Spill Over Effect On Bilateral Relations. Without Improving Bilateral Relations Vital Economic Areas Cannot Be Brought Under The Regional Scheme.It Is Found That India Has Got A Special Role In Regional Co-Operation In South Asia Since The Whole Region Is 'Indo-Centric And India Dominated'. Good Neighbourly Relations Incorporating The Ideals And Aspirations Of The Smaller South Asian Countries Would Ulti¬Mately Result In Widening The Scope Of Saarc Regionalism. At The Present Stage 'Deepening' Rather Than 'Widen¬Ing' Should Be Given Priority. The Attempt Should Be To Diminish The Dimensions Of Conflict Rather Than The Outright Elimination Of It. Saarc Is A Compound Of Interests. Settling Of Bilateral Disputes Is Not Mathematically Achievable.
Download or read book Regionalism and Regional Security in South Asia written by Zahid Shahab Ahmed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zahid Shahab Ahmed evaluates the progress of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). This study goes beyond economic integration to present a detailed appraisal of cooperation under the overarching themes of economic cooperation, environmental security, human welfare, and cooperation in security matters. According to the author, SAARC is making progress in addressing the myriad of issues on its agenda. The transition from agreements to actions and frequent interactions among the member states has boosted confidence. The progress of SAARC is more evident in the less controversial areas of human security, such as poverty alleviation, health and safety, human resources development, and higher education. Notwithstanding enthusiastic commitments reflected in agreements and action plans, there is a gulf between rhetoric and implementation most notably in sensitive areas relating to traditional security. In the light of the findings of this study, the author proposes that greater cooperation in common human security areas has a potential to pave the way for a cooperation on issues of a ’contentious’ nature, particularly terrorism.
