"South Asia 2060" is a dialogue among 47 experts from a diverse range of expertise and backgrounds, ranging from policymakers to academia to civil society activists and visionaries, on the likely longer-range trajectories of South Asia's future. The collection explores current regional trends, possible future trajectories, and the key factors that will determine whether these trajectories are positive or negative for the region, as a region. Departing from a purely security-based analysis, the volume considers factors such as development and human well-being to reveal not what will happen but what could happen, as well as the impact present conditions could have on the rest of the world.

A dialogue among 47 thought leaders and visionaries, tackling the possible futures of South Asia as a region, along with their repercussions for the rest of the world.

Reviews

"[A]n all-star cast of serious scholars covering a number of topics. [...] The range of topics undertaken is nearly encyclopedic: South Asia as a region, state relations, economic development, and human well-being. However, there is a commonality of perspective running through nearly all of the essays, regardless of topic." -William G. Vanderbok, "Exemplar: The Journal of South Asian Studies"
