The Impact of Globalization on South Asia

Azizur Rahman Khan

Chapter 4 in Globalization, Growth and Marginalization, 1998, pp 103-124 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the impact that the increasing globalization of the world economy is having on South Asia. The analysis focuses on five major countries-Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka-which account for an overwhelming proportion of the population of South Asia. In 1994, these five countries together had a population of 1.2 billion, 21 per cent of world population and 38 per cent of the population of the low-income countries, a category to which they all belong. By any absolute standard of poverty these five South Asian countries account for close to half of the world’s poor?
