Global Dimensions Of Indo Nepal Political Relations

The other areas of Indo-Nepal relations covered in the book include trade and Indian participation in Nepal's development projects. The study concludes with a survey of the historic change in Nepal from the King-dominated Panchayat systems to multiparty democracy under constitutional monarchy. The author finds prospects of Indo-Nepal cooperation promising as a result of recent changes within Nepal and also at the global and regional levels.

India-Nepal Relations are unique for reasons ranging from geographical contiguity to intense cultural bonding. We share extensive institutional and social relationships. Cultural, economic and geographical factors as well as the common bond of a shared religion have had a great influence on bilateral relations. Despite some turbulence, India-Nepal relations have remained close, stable and mutually beneficial. And yet, as two sovereign nations, both India and Nepal are naturally guided by their national interests in cultural, economic and security issues. In this context a comprehensive analysis of the Indo-Nepal relations with their domestic determinants is of immense importance. The objective of this collection of essays is to provide a detailed analysis of the legal complexities that exist between Nepal and India and to analyse the major problems from an international legal perspective. It is hoped that this volume will fill the significant gap that exists in the literature on this subject, which is devoted more to political and economic issues than to legal ones. There is virtually no work which thoroughly examines the major international legal issues relating to Indo-Nepal relations.

The book examines the Indo-Nepal relations from a historical perspective and discusses that a part of the relation remains as a dark side, which has been less explored in the existing literature. Since a new triangular relation is emerging and developing between China, Nepal, and India, the book takes into account this new dimension and moves on to analyze the existing relation between India and Nepal, which has been colonial since the time of British East India Company, through the lens of hybrid colonialism for which the theoretical perspectives are drawn from the fields of colonialism, neocolonialism, dependency, democratic peace, and governmentalism. These theoretical lenses facilitate the author to discuss that the present days Indo-Nepal relation are hybrid in form since the political actors are democratic and their action seems to be legitimate in the legal framework. The discussions in the book offer a solid base to both nations, Nepal and India, to revisit their dominant relations, which they have already started, in order to construct a new and dynamic framework that is capable of developing their relationship that is democratic and just.
