As addressed by the many topics in this paper, South Asia has\u00a0many economic advantages such as trade, tourism, transportation and\u00a0employment. Hence, economic cooperation among the countries in the\u00a0region has to be established and strengthened. The theme of this book is\u00a0current, relevant and shows the importance of establishing economic\u00a0cooperation in South Asia not only to benefit the South Asian countries but\u00a0the world too. The arrangement of the book with thematic segment dealing\u00a0with very specific topics provided easy understanding on the importance\u00a0and directions of economic cooperation in South Asia. The strength of this\u00a0book is the extensive information each author provided on the topics. The\u00a0main weakness is the failure of the many authors to provide critical views\u00a0and rigorous analysis on the addressed topics especially on why the\u00a0countries failed to achieve economic integration in the region with regards\u00a0to the specific issues addressed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Download\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a title=\"Book Review: Promoting Economic Cooperation Beyond SAFTA\" href=\"http:\/\/ijaps.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/book-review-BeyondSAFTA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download review (PDF)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vol. 7, No. 1 (2011): 143\u2013146.
