Poverty and Governance in South Asia (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the discourses of development agenda and governance crisis to reduce poverty through Millennium Development Goals in South Asia. It finds that the agenda largely widens the gap between the rich and poor, which combined with rising inflation, contributes to political instability. It provides a survey of the region by not only focusing on India, Pakistan and Bangladesh but also on the smaller countries in the region such as Bhutan, and explores the consequences of the neo-liberal democracy and recent development agenda coupled with governance reforms.
