Developing economic corridors in South Asia

As tariff-based barriers decline in South Asia, countries in the region are
recognizing the importance of transport and trade facilitation measures to
reap the benefits of trade liberalization. The next stage in regional
cooperation is the development of economic corridors. This book discusses
the shaping of economic corridors along regional transport arteries and
shows how opportunities for industrial agglomeration and expansion can
bring dynamic gains to the region. It identifies viable subcomponents to link
with principal transport networks and economic clusters while suggesting
policy measures to ensure that benefits are fully realized. Policy makers and
development economists will find this volume a valuable resource.
