This volume contains 23 essays that assess the efforts of the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) in regional cooperation and improving the welfare of people in South Asia since its founding in 1985. They consider economic cooperation; ecological challenges; the roles of member countries like Bhutan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and India; issues like developing a regional human rights mechanism, the trafficking and vulnerabilities of children and women, and diversity management; and the work of the Self-Employed Women's Association. A few chapters discuss South Asian literature. Contributors work in political science, South Asia studies, and other fields in South Asia and elsewhere.
