Connectivity Geopolitics in Nepal

This book is a critical articulation of Nepal s connectivity geopolitics, offering a triangular analysis of the country's geopolitics, connectivity and foreign policy. By elucidating the interplay between these elements, it contributes to a deeper understanding of how smaller states strategically balance aspirations and trade-offs in navigating the contemporary reality of connectivity geopolitics amidst competing global interests. Furthermore, it helps us examine how insights generated from a country's history of strategic culture could be valuable in navigating the contemporary reality of connectivity geopolitics and why one should not take foreign support for connectivity at face value.
