Thirty Years of SAARC cover

This book traces economic and political issues through SAARC’s thirty-year journey.

Topical and well-researched, this collection provides a comprehensive assessment of SAARC and provides policy directives for the future.  The book points out the issues and constraints that have hindered regional cooperation in South Asia. It establishes that despite being democracies, there has been little effort by member nations to promote regional cooperation in the public domain.

It stresses that in view of the increased role that countries wish to play in globalisation, economic cooperation is the way forward. The book further argues that political will is the pivot on which the prospect of regional cooperation revolves. 

The contributors are also eminent writers, researchers and editors from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and other SAARC countries… The opinion makers, columnists, journalists and social and political activists must have this book in their collection for ready reference, data and perspective on criticality of regional cooperation.
