Development cooperation in south Asia: A Nepalese perspective

Regional cooperation thrives on the shared interests of its members. It is like a joint enterprise which involves initial investment costs but ultimately offers positive benefits. The question of the sustainability of co-operation, like enterprises, is therefore the legitimate concern of its beneficiaries. This is why there is a momentous growth of cooperation organisations for development in both developed and underdeveloped regions. This growth has also led to the belief that there is more benefit in cooperation than non-cooperation.
