South Asia in Reform Mode: Experiences, Obstacles and Prospects

Chapter 3 in Development, Governance and the Environment in South Asia, 1999, pp 35-67 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most South Asian countries are only in the initial phase of implementation of comprehensive programmes of economic reform and liberalisation. Attempts at reform in these countries commenced in the 1970s and 1980s but were piecemeal and had little impact, except in India in the 1980s when the average growth rate rose above 5 per cent. Sri Lanka is the exception in the group, commencing its programme of liberalisation as early as 1977.
