In harnessing the potential of trade, some of the most successful countries have developed strong trade relationships with their neighbors. However, many South Asian countries have trade regimes that often offset the positive impact of geography and proximity. This report documents systematically the gaps between current and potential trade in South Asia and addresses important specific barriers that have held trade back. These barriers include tariffs and paratariffs, real and perceived nontariff barriers, connectivity costs, and the broader trust deficit. This policy-focused report unpacks these critical barriers to effective trade integration in South Asia through four in-depth studies that produce new, detailed, on-the-ground knowledge. Three of the studies are based on extensive stakeholder consultations. Two also rely on tailored surveys. The fourth study, on tariffs, benefits from new data on paratariffs. The report also marshals new evidence showing how trading regimes in South Asia discriminate against each other. Given the South Asian context, incremental, yet concrete steps aimed at tapping the potential of deeper integration are appropriate. The report has been drafted in this spirit. It offers precise, actionable policy recommendations that could help achieve measurable progress in key areas of trade and integration that would be to the advantage of all countries in the region. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aBorder Haats 606 $aConnectivitiy 606 $aNon-Tariff Barriers 606 $aParatariffs 606 $aProximity 606 $aRegional Cooperation 606 $aRegional Trade 606 $aSAFTA 606 $aSensitive List 606 $aTariffs 606 $aTrade Liberalization 606 $aTrust Deficit 607 $aSouth Asia$xCommerce 615 4$aBorder Haats 615 4$aConnectivitiy 615 4$aNon-Tariff Barriers 615 4$aParatariffs 615 4$aProximity 615 4$aRegional Cooperation 615 4$aRegional Trade 615 4$aSAFTA 615 4$aSensitive List 615 4$aTariffs 615 4$aTrade Liberalization 615 4$aTrust Deficit 676 $a382.0954 700 $aKathuria$b Sanjay$01465152 702 $aKathuria$b Sanjay 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793113403321 996 $aA Glass Half Full$93684498 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04705nam 2201057z- 450 001 9910557426203321 005 20210501 035 $a(CKB)5400000000043462 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/68950 035 $a(oapen)doab68950 035 $a(EXLCZ)995400000000043462 100 $a20202105d2020 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aGI for Disaster Management 210 $aBasel, Switzerland$cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2020 215 $a1 online resource (160 p.) 311 08$a3-03936-824-9 311 08$a3-03936-825-7 330 $aEach year, disasters such as storms, floods, fires, volcanoes, earthquakes, and epidemics cause thousands of casualties and tremendous damage to property around the world, displacing tens of thousands of people from their homes and destroying their livelihoods. The majority of these casualties and property loss could be prevented if better information were available regarding the onset and course of such disasters. Several remote sensing technologies, such as meteorological and Earth observation satellites, communication satellites, and satellite-based positioning, supported by geoinformation technologies, offer the potential to contribute to improved prediction and monitoring of potential hazards, risk mitigation, and disaster management which, in turn, would lead to sharp reductions in losses to life and property. This book explores most of the scientific issues related to spatially supported disaster management and its integration with geographical information system technologies in different disaster examples and scales. Dealing with disasters over space and time represents a long-lasting theme, now approached by means of innovative techniques and modelling approaches. Several priorities for actions are outlined toward preventing new and reduce existing disaster risks, including understanding disaster risk, strengthening disaster risk governance for management of disaster risk, investing in disaster reduction for resilience, and enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response. This book presents ideas to address the challenges facing different components of spatial patterns related to ecological processes, and the published articles extended versions of selected presentations from the Gi4DM Conference in 2019 in Prague. 606 $aEnvironmental economics$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aavailability 610 $aBlack sea 610 $acartographic symbols 610 $aclimate change 610 $aCNN 610 $acomparative analysis 610 $acomputer vision 610 $acrisis map 610 $adeveloping urban settlements 610 $adrone 610 $afire severity mapping 610 $afirst responder 610 $aflood 610 $aforest regeneration 610 $afuzzy logic 610 $aGAN 610 $aGIS, household 610 $aGNSS 610 $agraphic design 610 $ahydrodynamic model 610 $aINACHUS 610 $aIndex method 610 $alandslide 610 $alogistic regression 610 $aM-AHP 610 $amachine learning 610 $aMamdani fuzzy algorithm 610 $amap symbology 610 $amapping impact 610 $amulti-hazard 610 $amultispectral imagery 610 $an/a 610 $aParrot SEQUOIA 610 $apoint clouds 610 $apost-fire management 610 $apromulgation 610 $aRECONASS 610 $asatellite altimetry 610 $asea level change 610 $asea level rise 610 $aSentinel-2A 610 $asharing 610 $asolar salt farming 610 $astandardisation 610 $asusceptibility mapping 610 $ataxonomy 610 $atidal flood 610 $atide gauge 610 $aunmanned aerial vehicles 610 $avulnerability 615 7$aEnvironmental economics 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aAltan$b Orhan$4edt$0276451 702 $aTanzi$b Tullio Joseph$4edt 702 $aChandra$b Madhu$4edt 702 $aSunar$b Filiz$4edt 702 $aHalounova?$b Lena$4edt 702 $aAltan$b Orhan$4oth 702 $aTanzi$b Tullio Joseph$4oth 702 $aChandra$b Madhu$4oth 702 $aSunar$b Filiz$4oth 702 $aHalounova?$b Lena$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557426203321 996 $aGI for Disaster Management$93024505 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03944nam 2200541zu 450 001 9910960333403321 005 20240922213747.0 010 $a9781118845790$b(ePub) 010 $a9781118846018$b(pdf) 010 $a1-118-84601-X 035 $a(OCoLC)885026865 035 $a(CKB)30947323000041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7104135 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4039204 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1895655 035 $a(BIP)52687293 035 $a(BIP)50013728 035 $a(EXLCZ)9930947323000041 100 $a20240320|2015uuuu || | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cn$2rdamedia 183 $anc$2rdacarrier 200 10$aConstruction project scheduling and control /$fSaleh Mubarak 205 $aThird edition. 210 1$cHoboken, New Jersey :$cWiley,$d[2015] 215 $a1 online resource 311 08$aPrint version: Mubarak, Saleh A.
