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.
