The Eastern South Asia Subregion (ESAS), comprising Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal, contains one of the largest human and material resource endowments of the world. Cooperation among ESAS countries towards the development and utilisation of these resources can vitally contribute to poverty removal and sustainable growth by promotion of mutually beneficial investment and trade. This book contains sixteen essays which explore comprehensively and systematically the ways and means of facilitating cooperation in ESAS in the era of globalisation. An inquiry into the relevance of the experiences of China and the Russian Federation to the ESAS endows this collection of essays with a special significance. Moreover, some of these essays also highlight the need for largescale administrative reforms as a precondition for promotion of investment and trade in the ESAS in a cooperative way. A comprehensive and unique work on the subject of regional cooperation, this book will be of interest to those in the fields of commerce, finance, international trade, economics, politics and industry, as also to policy makers.
