Abstract
This thesis undertakes a research survey to identify tangible benefits for Nepal by examining its distinctive relationships with China and India. Although Nepal sits geographically between the two, it often experiences strategic constraint arising from their rapid economic growth, ideological differences, and mutual rivalry. The core focus is the fluid, often asymmetrical Nepal–India relationship and how it shapes Nepal’s ability to sustain a balanced relationship with its northern neighbor, China. The study seeks to uncover problematic aspects of Indo‑Nepal relations and to highlight strengths in Sino‑Nepal ties that Nepal could leverage. The author argues that this is a timely moment to rethink and redefine neighborhood policy, beginning with a recalibrated approach to India. The work is described as a research survey; specific findings are not presented in the excerpt.
Dette speciale er en undersøgelse, der søger at identificere håndgribelige fordele for Nepal ved at analysere landets særlige relationer til nabolandene Kina og Indien. Geografisk ligger Nepal mellem de to, men i praksis oplever landet sig ofte klemt af deres hurtige økonomiske vækst, ideologiske forskelle og indbyrdes rivalisering. Studiets kerne er den ustadige relation mellem Nepal og Indien og dens betydning for, om Nepal kan opretholde et balanceret forhold til sin nordlige nabo, Kina. Undersøgelsen tilstræber at afdække problematiske sider af de indo-nepalesiske relationer og at pege på styrker i de sino-nepalesiske forbindelser, som Nepal kan udnytte. Forfatteren vurderer, at tidspunktet er gunstigt til at gentænke og redefinere naborelationerne med udgangspunkt i en ny tilgang til Indien. Metodisk beskrives arbejdet som en forskningsundersøgelse; konkrete resultater fremgår ikke af uddraget.
