Inordertoexaminetheconnectionbetweentradeliberalisationandpoverty, this book provides case studies of trade policy reforms and poverty reduction outcomes of seven countries in South Asia – Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The South Asia region allows for an excellent comparative study given the widespread emphasis on liberal- isationreformsintheregionoverthepasttwodecades,aswellashighlighting significant inter-country differences in terms of the timing and comprehen- siveness of reforms, and the heavy concentration of world poverty in the region.
