| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The thirty years of existence of South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) amply demonstrates that it has experienced huge failures amidst patches of success stories. It has remained far away from its final goal of regional economic integration as well as fast socio-economic development. There have been many serious academic attempts to analyze the causes of its failures and put forth suggestions to remove its weaknesses. The policy makers in South Asian capital have struggled hard to overhaul its structures and operations, but final story remains the same e.g. South Asia is the least integrated region in the world. |
