This book examines four key issues concerning growth in South Asian states, namely making maximum use of the region's human capital resources by creating productive employment for a growing labour force; adapting to the vagaries of climate change and its socio-economic consequences; addressing intra-country growth disparities; and ensuring the continued competitiveness of private enterprise in both domestic and external markets. The governments of individual South Asian economies face a number of opportunities and variety of policy options for tackling them. One of the most important tools in this respect is regional cooperation. The need for South Asian governments to act individually in order to address the problems specific to their economies is strongly coupled with a need for these governments to act together to alleviate mutual obstacles to regional growth. This volume provides an important starting point for considering the most effective ways in which individual and collective state action may be channeled towards achieving the goals of a future South Asian growth miracle.
