• Note (General): type:text; Can we think in a realistic manner on triangles of prosperity in South Asia? What are the sustainable development issues in the populous South Asian region, which has the largest share of poor people in the World? The argument of this paper is that whenever we have looked at solutions in a "practical" manner the finger points at larger regional perspectives. But while there are common heritages in many cases, sometimes "experience" and institutions are dissonant. An area of high population densities, it has a carrying capacity problem and food security, employment, energy and water are emerging as critical issues. From the few studies that have been done, it seems that the problems will become acute and need immediate attention. On the flip side are technology and the irreversible path of economic liberalization in a global setting, clearly pointing at strategic regional initiatives, as a part of the reform process. The strongest argument of this paper is that reform is making many old mind sets irrelevant. Yet they continue as obstructions. We briefly set the demographic and demand perspective in the context of the overall economies of the region, but the illustrations show that the major emphasis has to be on institutions and policies. The regional cooperation agenda emerges from and is a necessary part of the reform process in South Asia. Second old mind sets which work in terms of Bismarckian diplomacy structures, rather than modern rules of functioning of technoeconomic systems stand in the way of substantial progress. Third the development of such rules will have to be in a strategic policy framework which accounts for the different sizes, initial conditions and resource endowments of the countries. Fourth such frameworks can be developed and in a rudimentary form are already there. Finally a step wise process of progress should be strived for rather than big bangs which fail.; The 21st century center of excellence program "Policy innovation initiative: human security research in Japan and Asia"
