Human Insecurity in South Asia
The article addresses the issue of social injustice by stressing on the need for social action through state initiatives for uplifting the underprivileged segments of society. 1 It is argued that while human insecurity impacts all classes of people, it is asymmetrically distributed across South Asian societies where the resource-deprived remain more vulnerable than the more privileged members of the society. Evidences show that market forces rema…

Challenging the Injustice of Poverty
The Need for Economic Integration
South Asia inherited a shared identity, a shared infrastructure and institutions of governance, which were fractured by politics. There are now new opportunities that point to the possibility and necessity of reclaiming some of that inheritance. India's economy is now large enough to be welcomed by the various groupings in Asia as partner; while Asia is going to be, or already is, the new global growth centre. So South Asia must integrate in orde…
The Twelfth Saarc Summit
The article focuses on some of the key issues identified in the Islamabad Declaration. While it provides a road map to a South Asian Economic Union, progress will depend upon the resolution of specific problems in interconnected issue areas. For instance, increasing intra-regional trade in South Asia will require integration of regional infrastructure. This in turn implies not just the strengthening of regional transportation, transit and communi…

The Politics of Hunger and Entitlement
Access to food depends on food supply, the ability to establish entitlement over food, production, market transaction, and household political power. Hunger originates in ‘entitlement failures’ bearing community specificity rather than household-specificity features. While emphasizing the political influences on a state's direct contribution to entitlements, this chapter tries to establish a causal nexus between politics, hunger, and entitlement.…

The Crisis of External Dependence
Enhancing trade between Opec and the developing countries of Asia
Whilst the external surplus of the oil exporting countries collectively grouped together under the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its placement in the international capital market has been a subject of continuing attention and concern amongst policymakers, bankers and scholars, there appears to have been somewhat less focus placed on the quantum change in the position of the oil exporters in world trade. It may be noted …
Opec's Political Options
Since the 1973 oil embargo, OPEC's political and economic leverage in global politics has progressively weakened. This decline in OPEC's relative power is due largely to the oil producers' increased dependence on the West for technology, markets, security, and investment opportunities. To counteract this increasing dependency, this paper argues for increased economic collaboration with the Third World, including a complete redirection of OPEC's i…
Bangladesh and the World Economic System
Institutional mechanisms for Channelling Opec surpluses within the third world
This paper is designed to generate ideas on the modes of stepping up the flow of surplus funds from oil and petroleum exporting countries (OPEC), to the developing countries (DCs) and suggests some of the institutional mechanisms which might promote this flow. The discussion is restricted to accelerating non-concessional transfer from OPEC to the DCs. It is presumed OPEC concessional transfers are already at a high level and in relative terms rep…
