    Cheltenham, UK ; Northhampton, MA : Edward Elgar Pub., c2002.

    This three-volume set brings together a comprehensive selection of papers on development policy making and economic performance in the five major economies in South Asian countries -India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka - during the past half a century of the post colonial era. Volume 1 covers economic conditions at the time of independence, and broader patterns of economic development against the backdrop of policy transition from import-substitution strategy to economic restructuring through liberalization, and the underlying political economy. The next two volumes are arranged thematically: volume 2 covers agriculture and the rural economy, industrialization and finance and development, and volume 3 deals with the external dimension of development, population dynamics and human resource development, and poverty and income distribution. The economic debates in South Asia, particularly in India, have been wide-ranging and intellectually stimulating, with active participation of a number of pioneers in development economics. The existing knowledge on a number of key issues, such as the role of development planning, foreign trade regimes and economic development, the political economy of rent-seeking, choice of technology, causes of famines, sex bias in poverty, and poverty and public policy, have been shaped significantly by the South Asian experience. This three-volume set should therefore be a valuable reference not only for the South Asian specialist but also for all students and practitioners in the field of economic development.
