Abstract
This paper is addressed to two problems: (1) the analysis of international economic policies in South Asia which would permit the pursuit of basic economic and non-economic objectives with greater economic payoff than is apparent under the existing set of policies; and (2) the designing of economic policies and plans which reflect the regional constraints and dimensions which characterise each state in South Asia.
Thanks are due to Padma Desai, V. K. Ramaswami and T. N. Srinivasan for helpful comments. I might add that I have confined myself, in the section on regional development, largely to raising a number of issues which I consider to be pertinent in this general area, and which are suggested by empirical experience of the last two decades in India (and also Pakistan) to be of importance in actual policy-making.
