Abstract

Development drivers and their relative role in development process can describe a development pathway as high or low energy, high or low emission, inherently sustainable or unsustainable. The focus is on South Asia because it houses over 1.4 billion people – more than one-fifth of the world’s population in 4.6 million square km. which is 3.3 per cent of the world landmass. The region is experiencing rapid energy demand growth and will remain major consumer of energy in next couple of decades. It is already well accepted that in forward looking view what the “non-G8” world thinks and does is of equal if not more importance. Non G-8 is not homogenous group and especially South Asia is a unique region with high poverty, resource rich, cultural, political, environmental diversity with interesting historical past. Following the global trend, regional cooperation to accelerate the process of economic and social development motivated governments of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives to join hands in 1985 to establish the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).
