Intra Kashmir trade: Policy brief

This policy brief accompanies the report Jammu and Kashmir: Trade across the Line of Control.  It is published by Conciliation Resources together with the Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies in New Delhi and the Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency, based in Islamabad. The policy brief sets out recommendations based on the findings of the research.

The report and policy brief highlight the growth in this trade and its success in drawing in many families divided by the conflict. 

Nonetheless, this remains limited in terms of the number of trading routes and the range of goods that can be traded as well as in terms of the means of communication and exchange between traders.
