Drawing on empirical research, this book offers a rigorous insight into a variety of issues related to evolving geopolitics, bilateral/regional/sub-regional trade agreements as well as the urgent need for the revival of geo-economics for mutual gains. Acknowledging the evolving regional geopolitics, the book also attempts to put forward the potential challenges and opportunities in regional trade and economic cooperation in South Asia in post pandemic period. It also explores how social forces like shared cultural, religious, linguistic, and historical linkages have the potential to act as a bridge to fill the gap in trade and economic cooperation.The rich collections of chapters not only enrich the understanding of the reasons behind the low level of regional trade and economic cooperation in South Asia, but also offer new insight into the facts to adopt and apply progressive regional trade policy in the fast-changing business environment and evolving new geopolitics in the region in the post pandemic era.
