The book explores how greater trade in the sub-region can be a vehicle for economic integration and raise living standards for its people. It also analyses the challenges of non-trade issues such as connectivity, investments, infrastructure, deficiencies in logistics, lack of technical capacity, etc., which act as hindrances to economic cooperation as well as integration. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is the research collaboration of scholars from leading institutions of India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh to analyse important aspects of economic integration and cooperation from the perspective of each of these countries so as to overcome the challenges that act as a deterrent to poverty eradication in the sub region. The initiative was funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) and implemented by the Indian Council for Research on International Economics Relations (ICRIER).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePraise for the book\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pad10 overflow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBangladesh and Myanmar are two of the most important potential economic partners for India, but  there are non-trade issues such as connectivity, investments, infrastructure, deficiencies in logistics, lack of technical capacity, etc., which have not allowed this potential to materialise.
