This book aims to assess the recent economic, social and political developments in the GMS and identify emerging opportunities and challenges facing the successful transition towards a market-driven economy. The countries of the GMS are at a critical juncture where subregional efforts and cooperation must be made to fully address the rapidly evolving issues that are vital to appropriate policy formation, yet which remain widely debatable. The deliberations here shed light on the development stages and offer policy recommendations for pushing forward subregional cooperation UR - https://doi.org/10.1355/9789814379694 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9789814379694 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9789814379694/original ER -
