Sommario/riassunto

While South Asia's economic reform initiatives of the last two decades were often born in crisis, this alone does not account for their occurrence. This book looks at the processes and institutional arrangements behind these reforms, and analyses what lessons can be learnt about how South Asia can improve its policy efficiency.The book develops ideas about how to overcome the political restraints to reform by drawing on recent theories of political economy and policy learning.



It tests these ideas against authoritative case studies of actual reform initiatives in South Asia, w
