Concepts such as decentralization, citizen engagement, lean public service, privatization, autonomy, public-private partnership may work well in developed countries but may not produce the same results in the region where the majority of poor people expect their government to fulfill their basic needs. Governance in South Asia needs to be reformed to ensure that poverty can be reduced, if not completely eradicated. Poor governance and the various means by which governance has fallen short, has led to lack of development and continuance of poverty in South Asian societies. South Asian countries have more or less similar objectives, structures, value systems, cultures, and standards of governance despite different forms of government. The colonial legacy of British administrative system had its impact on centralization. Secrecy, elitism, rigidity, and social isolation is common to all South Asian countries. The post-colonial administrative system is built upon pre-colonial administrative traditions throughout the region. These countries can learn from each other’s experiences. They need to develop an indigenous model to find pragmatic solutions to the challenges of good governance. This book argues that countries in South Asian can achieve good results through good governance if they develop and adopt an indigenous model rather than simply borrowing models and ideas from the West.

Positioned close to the Strait of Malacca, these 526 islands serve as the first land connection from the Strait and overlook one of the world's busiest sea lanes of communication. As the Indo-Pacific becomes the new theatre of great power contestation in the 21st century, the Andaman Sea will no longer remain the tranquil backwater it has been for the last two centuries. This comprehensive volume brings together accomplished academicians and practitioners to examine the multifaceted importance of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands through three distinct sections: history, geography, and tradition; security dimensions; and economic development and connectivity. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, relying on substantial primary sources and combining theoretical frameworks with situational assessments. It addresses critical yet understudied aspects including maritime boundaries with Indonesia and Myanmar, marine ecosystems, underwater domain awareness, power projection capabilities, and blue economy potential.  This book is essential reading for students, researchers, academicians, policymakers, and think tanks engaged in South Asian studies, maritime security, Indo-Pacific affairs, strategic studies, and international relations. It provides invaluable insights for understanding India's maritime profile and the geostrategic significance of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in contemporary global affairs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53474291155217,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53474291220753,"sku":"NGR9781041388494","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-adluri-subramanyam-raju.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
