The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were introduced by the United Nations (UN) for all member nations with a total of 17 goals and 169 targets to be achieved between 2016 and 2030. The recent pandemic has presented more challenges to achieving the UN’s SDGs. This book examines Bangladesh’s ascendancy in socio-economic terms and the prospects of Bangladesh overcoming the challenges to become a higher-middle-income nation by 2030.

This book traces the transformation of Bangladesh from 1996 through 2020 and examines various factors contributing to its success from rural economy, external support, manufacturing, and structural transformation to energy consumption. This book also looks at the challenges and opportunities for Bangladesh as the Fourth Industrial Revolution unfolds and as climate change, to which Bangladesh is highly vulnerable, escalates.

This book will be a useful reference document for those who are interested in gaining more insights into inclusive growth and sustainable development from the case study of Bangladesh.

South Asia’s developing nations have been enjoying moderate to high growth over the past decade before the global pandemic of 2020 began. This new edition provides an up-to-date guide to the growing markets in South Asia in the post-COVID-19 period. It offers an analysis of the changes and consequences of high sustainable growth, investigating what has been achieved in the region over the last 2001-2023 from a macroeconomic viewpoint, identifying new challenges to 2030, and the end of the UNSDGs period.

Part I of the textbook presents an analysis of how South Asia is rated against Southeast and East Asia in recent decades in economic and social terms.

Part II focuses on South Asia’s economic development over 2000 and the bearly 2020s. It demonstrates that globalization enhanced global trade and that trade further increased the region’s prosperity up to 2020.

Part III identifies major governance issues that were responsible for South Asia’s social and economic underperformance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This new edition includes a new chapter about AI and South Asia in the future. The textbook advocates for a shift in focus from policy reform per se to the more challenging task of implementing institutional reform that will invigorate the capability of the political leadership to bring about rapid, sustained and poverty-reducing growth in South Asia in post-Covid era. The book also considers climate change and the environment, and it analyses the impact of these changes and developments on the economic health and social conditions in South Asia. The concluding chapter demonstrates current political unrest in three South Asian nations, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, termed the South Asian Spring.

Offering an analysis of the changes and consequences of high sustainable growth in South Asia, this textbook will be useful for students and researchers in Development Economics, Business Economics, Development Studies, and Asian Studies.

South-South migration contributes significantly to the development of the emerging economies, the migration of receiving countries and, at the same time, generates a major share of remittance income flowing into the sending countries.

By capturing field experience and observations from a number of research studies, this book provides a robust catalogue of data, practical experience and analysis focused on the significant issues, risks and challenges that are associated with this evolving phenomenon in international migration. The book also critically explores new theoretical perspectives by highlighting new policy directions for both sending and receiving countries relevant to making South-South migration more efficient, attractive and mutually beneficial.

This insightful volume is presented in three parts: Part I identifies the major socio-economic factors which are likely to take away the opportunities in realizing the Asian century by 2050; Part II presents the responsible policy issues which would be needed to overcome the hurdles such as public finance, natural resources, public health and sanitation, intra-Asia migration and decentralized governance; and Part III articulates major challenges in realizing Asian prosperity including sustainable international business and sustainable growth. The topics examined range from demographic conditions and tax reform to responsible use of natural resources in the years to come.

The Asian Century, Sustainable Growth and Climate Change will appeal to academics in the fields of Asian studies and environment ecology. Both practitioners and policymakers will find this detailed analysis of the major challenges for South Asian growth an invaluable resource.

The focus of this edited volume is to identify challenges facing organizations in achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and a new energy economy, and to explore solutions from various sectors of the economy to enable the transition to a zero emissions future. Research presented here is divided into three parts, with an introductory statement on growth and sustainability. Part one discusses strategies towards a sustainable economy under a zero emissions goal. Part two contains industry specific case studies focusing on construction and related activities. Part three is devoted to country specific case studies from the Asia-Pacific region.

Each of the chapters address one or more of the following issues: restoration, mitigation, adaptation and/or promoting resilience in the face of climate change as part of achieving a sustainable economy.

The volume is multi-disciplinary in nature, drawing on various disciplines in social science, business, environment and policy, and will be of interest to UN development agencies, academic institutions, government policy makers, NGOs and business leaders.
