“…In particular, most of the private universities are characterized by high faculty turnover indicating lack of organizational commitment, poor quality of work life, lack of flexibility & freedom, lack of rewards and benefits, lack of career development opportunities 42,43,44 . Moreover, Bangladesh has cultural proximity to other South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka 45,46 . Therefore, the barriers that the faculty members encounter in these countries might be applicable for Bangladesh.…”

There has been a rising concern with regard to an inadequate level of knowledge sharing among the academicians in tertiary institutions across the globe. Scholars argue that improving academic research and quality of education at these institutions greatly depends on the level of knowledge sharing practices among them. Thus, it is important to explore the potential barriers to such knowledge sharing. Accordingly, this paper reviews pertinent literatures on barriers to knowledge sharing and knowledge witholding among academics in tertiary institutions.

“…There were some earlier proposals for regional cooperation in Asia involving countries that are now considered as SAARC countries, such as the Asian Relations Conference in Delhi in April 1947, the Colombo Conference in 1954 and the Bandung Conference in 1955 (Ahmed, 2013). However, a small South Asian country's President Ziaur Rahman mooted the notion of SAARC in the early 1980s.…”

“…And, SAARC is no exception to it. A remarkable move is the creation of South Asian Forum (SAF) that was launched in April 2011 in New Delhi on the pattern of the World Economic Forum based in Davos, Switzerland (Ahmed, 2013). The SAF aims to provide a forum to academicians, economic managers, public figures, business leaders, politicians and representatives of civil society from South Asia to deliberate on regional economic cooperation in South Asia.…”

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) as a regional economic grouping in South Asia has not emerged as a viable and an efficient regional block such as the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Despite taking several initiatives in this regard, it has not achieved the desired objectives set forth at the time of its establishment. Over thirty years, it has become hostage to the Pakistan-India adversarial relationship. Through interviews with key informants (KIs), this article investigates the causes for the lack of momentum of SAARC and explores how ASEAN's path might offer lessons for SAARC. Adopting qualitative methods and content analysis this research finds the dominance of the Pakistan-India conflictual relationship as the key reason for the relative weakness of the SAARC. Moreover, the lack of implementation of SAARC declarations, conflicting issues between India and other neighbouring countries and the strict SAARC visa regime are important barriers to the enhancement of regional co-operation in South Asia. The article recommends that SAARC countries follow the ASEAN model and focus on the augmentation of regional cooperation while managing bilateral conflicts between them. In this regard, Pakistan and India, being the largest economies in South Asia, should also perform a role in enhancing bilateral economic cooperation to avoid the potential for bilateral conflict. The article also finds that bilateral economic co-operation between Pakistan and India has a spillover effect on the enhancement of regional economic cooperation in South Asia.

“…SAARC also supports Business to Business (B2B) meetings and interaction with other members, institutions, state and central governments. To support business in the region, SAARC provides visa facilitation and SAARC's Visa Exemption Stickers (SVES) facility only for those who meet criteria (Ahmed 2016).…”

Higher consumption and increased import requirements for the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region can be catered through neighboring trade partners if resources are optimally utilized. The purpose of this research is to analyze the connection between regional trade of SAARC countries and the food security challenges faced by the region. The study uses data from 1990–2018 for Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh to econometrically analyze the determinants of the volume of food trade. The results show that the gross domestic product of importing or exporting countries and foreign direct investment (FDI) have positive impact on regional trade. The bilateral exchange rate between trading partners has a negative impact on the trade volume. The results also showed the absence of a long-run relationship between volume of trade and food security using Johansen’s cointegration test. Our analysis suggests that policy makers should focus on the means for creating favorable environment in Pakistan and India to not only meet the increasing global demands for food but also increasing their competitiveness for high-quality and low-quality priced products in major exports markets.
