To date, the progress of sub-regional trade integration in South Asia appears to be rather lacklustre. This book critically analyses the international legal aspects of economic integration in South Asia. It argues that although there are economic constraints in bringing about greater economic integration in South Asia, those constraints are not insurmountable. Many of the constraints are merely outcomes of dubious policies pursued by the policy makers in the sub-region and can be tackled with sustained political commitment towards the cause of the South Asian economic integration. 410 0$aNijhoff International Trade Law Series$v10. 606 $aForeign trade regulation$zSouth Asia 606 $aTariff$xLaw and legislation$zSouth Asia 606 $aTariff preferences$zSouth Asia 606 $aTrade blocs$zSouth Asia 607 $aSouth Asia$xEconomic integration 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForeign trade regulation 615 0$aTariff$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aTariff preferences 615 0$aTrade blocs 676 $a382/.9154 700 $aIslam$b Rizwanul Md$0617074 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461282703321 996 $aEconomic integration in South Asia$92044473 997 $aUNINA
