Drawing on many areas of expertise and a wide range of perspectives, this book analyses how recent developments in the economic, political and social landscapes of South Asia have affected the region itself as well as its relations with the rest of Asia and the world at large. The book gathers together the papers presented at the 4th International Conference on South Asia held in Singapore in November 2008. It represents the expert knowledge and opinions of prominent academics and world leaders. Whether be it dealing with issues of trade and investment, soft power and cultural influence, or the reduction of poverty, the chapters in this book are both in-depth and rich in broader implications for the South Asian region and beyond. 606 $aEconomic development$zSouth Asia$vCongresses 606 $aEquality$zSouth Asia$vCongresses 606 $aPoverty$zSouth Asia$vCongresses 607 $aSouth Asia$xPolitics and government$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aEquality 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a338.954 701 $aTan$b Tai Yong$0520845 712 12$aInternational Conference on South Asia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455585403321 996 $aChallenges of economic growth, inequality, and conflict in South Asia$92110603 997 $aUNINA
