Peace and Sustainable Development in South Asia - Hardcover

This anthology aims to familiarize the reader with various dimensions of sustainable development in the context of peace and globalization . The volume contains selected papers (after a thorough peer review and editing process), presented during the Eleventh Sustainable Development Conference (2008) of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI). It addresses a diverse range of issues such as food security, climate change, natural resources management, cost of conflicts in South Asia, conflict resolution through trade, rewriting history, energy sharing, etc. These papers are not just the reflection of the authors perspective but also carry in them the opinions of fellow panelists and conference delegates.
