Description
With the 14h SAARC summit attention has once again been focused on SAARC, its trajectory of growth and also its potentials and pitfalls. While opinions of experts differ on the quantum of SAARC’s achievements, everybody agrees that ‘regionalisation’ is the need of the hour and SAARC is the only forum that can bring it about leading to an accelerated pace of development in the Region.
SAARC - The Road Ahead is yet another publication of Foundation for Peace and Sustainable Development (FPSD). It comprises a number of scholarly and well-researched papers written by India's leading scholars and experts on issues as wide-ranging as economic cooperation, regional security, nuclearisation and terrorism and, of course, SAFTA which is in the process of implementation. Together, these papers etch out a social and economic profile of the Region and point towards the metaphoric road ahead.
