Abstract

The initial conditions of Sri Lanka and Nepal were different from those of the mainland South Asia at the start of the period. The differences were in their geographical situation and the nature of the political legacy. In common with the rest of the region, both countries went through a stage of state-managed development, with different capacities and consequences. A particular consequence was that regional inequality in both countries acquired an ethnic dimension. The present chapter will discuss the path of statist development in Sri Lanka and Nepal and suggest why the trajectory of economic change could produce this outcome.
