Hardcover. Condición: New. Geo-strategically speaking, South Asia, which represents about one-fourth of the world population, occupies a very important position in the arena of world politics. The regional characteristics are marked by sharp contrasts--on the one hand, South Asia is one of the fastest growing regional economies…with declining poverty rates and improvements in human development indicators, and on the other, it is marked by weak governance structures and feeble democratic institutions. It is also home to some of the worst forms of deprivation, poverty, and socio-political conflicts. Democratic institutions in South Asia have largely remained weak. The crisis of democracy is manifested by pervasive nepotism and corruption, an absence of transparency and accountancy in public administration, and a lack of respect for the rule of law. Lack of democratic governance in one state affects governance in the neighbouring states. Social issues affect the quality of life of the poor in South Asia. This category also includes issues like energy security, health security, problems arising out of global warming, water management, human rights and gender balance, refugees, cyber warfare, etc. Political issues include legitimacy, democracy, governance, insurgency, war on terror, cyber terrorism, etc.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK: The organization of eight South Asian nations, namely India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan , Sri Lanka and Afghanistan with observer nations, Myanmar, China, Iran, the European Union (EU) and the United States, to name a few, is known as the South Asia…n Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). It was established at the first summit in Dhaka on December 78, 1985. India, significantly, constitutes 70 per cent or more of SAARC's area and population. All have a shared culture, ethnicity and experienced long interactive historical events including British imperialism and its consequences. Over the years, SAARC has attempted to address several regional concerns, for instance drug and human trafficking, economic cooperation among south Asian states and the forging of a south Asian social identity and most recently efforts have been made to tackle the menace of terrorism in the region. Despite its stated intentions SAARC as a regional body has for years grappled with interstate, intrastate and regional conflicts. Since its existence in 1985, SAARC has been criticized for its failure to forge an effective regional identity. Interstate conflicts and the bilateral interests of member states have a decisive influence on the achievements of SAARC; the regional body has also been influenced by external players and other regional organizations. SAARC, regrettably, has yet to develop into a conflictmediating or conflictresolving institution both on multilateral and bilateral issues. This publication is a byproduct of a very successful ICSSR sponsored National Seminar organized by the Department of Political Science University School of Open Learning, Panjab University, Chandigarh from March 2425 , 2014. The book comprises of papers presented during the National Seminar from learned and distinguished experts, academicians, and research scholars. This study evaluates SAARC, as a living and developing organization and efforts have been made to cover all the aspects in an objective manner. This edited work is an attempt to bring to light the debilitating effect of interstate conflicts in South Asia on regional cooperation. Analyses has focused primarily on the negative association of interstate conflict and regionalism in South Asia, however this study also discusses how other regional cooperation mechanisms in South Asia have coped with such challenges to promote a vibrant regional identity. The study also analyses various development policies and Confidence Building Measures initiated by the respective Governments, and provides useful suggestions and policy recommendations to tackle the concerned challenges in South Asia. This book should serve as an important source as it provides a wealth of information about the existing issues of contentious prevailing in South Asian region, that have been continuously hampering the process of regional economic cooperation and integration under the forum of SAARC. This Book will be highly useful for the readers interested in studying the issues, problems and conflicts in South Asia.

Misra. Democracy as a system of governance is widely acknowledged and well established phenomenon all over the world. Though complex yet it remains flexible debatable as well as critical at times. The growth of democracy is not uniform in all the parts of the world. However the mere establishment of democracy is not sufficient. It has to be nurtured sustained and institutionalized which is possible if there is distributive justice social equality economic growth civic culture along with good government. State is an important institution as it creates necessary conditions for the growth and sustenance of democracy. However with the end of cold war and emergence of globalization there is greater emphasis on democracy all over the world. Globalization has not only posed challenges of varied nature before the state and growth of democracy but it has generated pressures and created requirements of its own kind before the nation states. South Asian region does not remain unaffected with the global developments. However the historical circumstances proved decisive not only to the fate of the nation states but to the growth of democracy as well. The urge of modernization shared borders weak territorial base overlapping ethnicity weak governance has frequently exploded into wars and interventions in these countries. Thus challenges to and conflict between state and democracy is not only wide in South Asia but has left a deep impact on the fate of democracy in the region. This kind of scenario calls for a comprehensive discussion of the nature and dimensions of state and democracy in South Asia. 202 pp.

This book deals with the challenges for efficient groundwater management, with a focus on South Asia and India, providing a balanced presentation of theory and field practice using a multidisciplinary approach. Groundwater of South Asia is increasingly confronted with overuse and deteriorating quality and therefore requires urgent attention. Management of the stressed groundwater system is an extremely complex proposition because of the intricate hydrogeological set-up of the region. Strategies for sustainable management must involve a combination of supply-side and demand-side measures depending on the regional setting and socio-economic situations. As a consequence, the challenges of the efficient groundwater management require not only a clear understanding of the aquifer configuration, but also demand for the development of a comprehensive database of the groundwater occurrences, flow system in each hydrogeological setting. In addition drilling and well construction methods, that are appropriate to different hydrogeological formations, need to be implemented as well as real- time monitoring of the status of the groundwater use. Also corrective measures for groundwater that is threatened with depletion and quality deterioration need to be installed. Finally the legal framework of groundwater needs to be rearticulated according to the common property aspect of groundwater. These challenges should revolve around effective groundwater governance by creating an atmosphere to support and empower community-based systems of decision-making and revisit the existing legal framework and groundwater management institutions by fostering community initiatives. This book is relevant for academics, professionals, administrators, policy makers and economists who are concerned with various aspects of groundwater science an.
