South Asia 2060 was a project of the Boston University Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future that aimed to facilitate a dialogue amongst experts from various disciplines across South Asia and the world on the likely longer-range trajectories of South Asia\u2019s future as a region. The project supported dialogue amongst leading thinkers within and beyond the region and collected the ideas generated by these thinkers on the future of the region in a book that was published in 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the purpose of this project, South Asia was considered to include the member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC): Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The project sought specifically to focus on South Asia as a region, on how the futures of individual South Asian countries are likely to impact the collective region, examine current regional trends, possible future trajectories over the next half century, and the key factors that will determine whether these trajectories are positive or negative for the region.<\/p>\n

The project facilitated writing and discussion on South Asia\u2019s regional futures by eminent scholars, practitioners and policy-makers from within as well as from outside the region. To reach a wider cross-section of experts from a variety of disciplines, the project also worked with existing forums focusing on South Asia.<\/p>\n
