Abstract

In Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, the initial conditions were somewhat different from those in India. The countries were similar in their reliance on industrialization and faith in state intervention, significantly reinforced during a socialist interlude in the mid-1970s. Given the differences in initial conditions, the contents of policy were varied. After socialism ended, export-oriented industry tended to be textile oriented, whereas in the home market a variety of new combinations of foreign and domestic firms supplied goods and services embodying new technologies.
