Abstract
Specialet undersøger Nepals relationer til Indien og Kina og placerer landet mellem to asiatiske stormagter. Med teoretiske rammer fra realisme, verdenssystemteori og de tre verdener-teorien belyser arbejdet, hvordan skiftende magtforhold og regionale interesser påvirker Nepals udenrigspolitiske valg. Den empiriske del fokuserer på fremvoksende Nepal–Kina-samarbejde og Indiens bekymringer, Nepals rolle i en ændret relation mellem Indien og Kina, betydningen af den maoistiske bevægelse i Nepal for Indiens sikkerhedsopfattelser, samt hvilke fordele og udfordringer tættere Nepal–Kina-samarbejde medfører. Desuden diskuteres, om Nepal kan fungere som økonomisk transitknudepunkt mellem Indien og Kina. Teksten indeholder afsnit om metodiske overvejelser og dataanalyse, men de specifikke metoder, datakilder og konklusioner fremgår ikke af de udleverede sider. Overordnet søger specialet at give en struktureret, teoriunderbygget vurdering af Nepals regionale rolle og handlemuligheder.
This thesis examines Nepal’s relations with India and China, positioning the country between two Asian powers. Using theoretical frameworks from realism, world-systems theory, and the Three Worlds theory, it explores how shifting power balances and regional interests shape Nepal’s foreign policy choices. The empirical analysis focuses on emerging Nepal–China cooperation and India’s concerns, Nepal’s role amid changing India–China relations, the implications of Nepal’s Maoist movement for India’s security perceptions, and the benefits and challenges of closer Nepal–China ties. It also considers whether Nepal can serve as an economic transit corridor between India and China. The document includes sections on methodological considerations and data analysis, but the provided pages do not specify the concrete methods, data sources, or final conclusions. Overall, the thesis aims to offer a structured, theory-informed assessment of Nepal’s regional role and options.
