Item Economic Policy in Sri Lanka: Issues and Debates - A Festschrift in Honour of Gamini Corea(Sage, 2004, 2004) Kelegama, Saman (ed.)This volume of essays is dedicated to Gamnini Corea--one of the foremost Sri Lankan economists, both nationally and as internationally. Bringing together essays by 23 well-known Sri Lankan scholars, this comprehensive volume discusses the evolution of Sri Lanka's economic policies from 1977 onwards, the ideology governing this evolution, the debates on policy, and the key economic issues confronting contemporary Sri Lanka to which Gamani Corea made his own substantial contribution at one time or another.Item Promoting Economic Cooperation in South Asia: Beyond SAFTA(Sage, 2010, 2010) Ahmed, Sadiq (ed.); Kelegama, Saman (ed.); Ghani, Ejaz (ed.)This volume examines the dichotomy between the two faces of South Asiaߟone poverty stricken and lagging in development, the other highly urbanized and growing rapidlyߟand tries to find a workable solution to bridge this gap. It looks at the many policy and institutional constraints that contribute to this dichotomy, especially regional conflict that has made South Asia one of the least integrated regions of the world.Item Trade Liberalisation and Poverty in South Asia: Reforms, Stylised Facts and Preview(Routledge, 2011, 2011) Athukorala, Prema-chandra (ed.); Bandara, Jayatilleke S. (ed.); Kelegama, Saman (ed.)In order to examine the connection between trade liberalisation and poverty, this book provides case studies of trade policy reforms and poverty reduction outcomes of seven countries in South Asia - Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The South Asia region allows for an excellent comparative study given the widespread emphasis on liberalisation reforms in the region over the past two decades, as well as highlighting significant inter-country differences in terms of the timing and comprehensiveness of reforms, and the heavy concentration of world poverty in the region.
