Sustainable Development in South Asia: Shaping The Future

Despite the intrinsically political nature of most sustainable development challenges facing the world today, most theories, deliberations, research and even implementation linking sustainability to development primarily follow apolitical and linear policy processes. Bringing together a range of subjects - from civil military relations, role of public and private sector in development, food and climate security, religious freedoms, and feminism after 9/11- this book Sustainable Development in South Asia: Shaping the Future uniquely examines the reasons why national governments, together with international aid agencies, have been unable to provide real and binding solutions to the myriad of problems standing in the way of emerging South Asia economies.
