DESCRIPTION
The economic development of South Asia can be closely linked to concerns about the degree of environmental degradation. Three major drivers behind this can be readily identified: a very high population growth rate, coupled with a lack of appropriate infrastructure, somewhat unfettered industrial growth without due environmental considerations and major demographic shifts including intense urbanization. Other factors in particular poverty and lack of education further exacerbate the impacts on the environment. All the talk of a new beginning in Sino-Indian relations notwithstanding there is little evidence to support the view that China has re-cast its foreign policy to build an accommodative relationship with Asia's other rising power India.
