Children and youth in Nepal are living in a post- conflict situation and are affected by different forms of conflict and violence. For approximately a decade, from 1996 – April 2006, Nepal witnessed a ’People’s War,’ launched by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), CPN-M. The decade long armed conflict adversely affected children’s and youth education, livelihoods, family based care, survival, protection and well- being (Save the Children, Norway, 2008; Mulmi,

The project strengthened women’s leadership skills and their participation in political processes and engaged men in enabling women’s political participation. It contributed to create a conducive environment for women’s political par- ticipation.

  • 0878 2 Neetu Choudhary
    Asia-Pacific Development Journal Vol. 21, No. 2, December 2014 INDO-NEPAL ECONOMIC COOPERATION: A SUBREGIONAL PERSPECTIVE Neetu Choudhary and Abhijit Ghosh* The present paper explores how a subregional engagement with bordering regions can stimulate economic cooperation among countries in the context of low levels of trade within the South Asian subregion. With special reference to shared historical legacy and culture-driven interaction — formal and informal — between Nepal and the state of Bihar in India, the paper develops a SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity and threat) framework to rationalize and reflect on the need for a subregional perspective towards promotion of regional cooperation. With complementary applications of secondary data and field research, it shows how irrespective of formal country-level initiatives, Nepal and Bihar have engaged in successful economic partnerships and argues that those existing nodes represent the potential for greater subregional and regional economic cooperation. The paper also offers insights into formal and informal challenges and policy imperatives associated with the operationalization of the new perspective. JEL Classification: F100, F140, F150, F420. Key words: Nepal, Bihar, informal, trade, subregional perspective, economic cooperation. * Neetu Choudhary (e-mail: [email protected]) and Abhijit Ghosh (e-mail: abhijitghosh [email protected]) are assistant professors of economics in the Division of Economics, A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna, Bihar, India. This paper is based on background research conducted by the A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna in partnership with the Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi. It incorporates inputs from deliberations of the Brainstorming Workshop on Indo-Nepal Economic Cooperation, organized by the A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna on 16 July 2014.

Finally, thank you to the U.S. Department of Education’s Foreign Language and Area Studies program for their support of my language training. I also want to extend my thanks to the Nepali government for hosting me during my fieldwork, and to Tribhuvan University for sponsoring my research visa, particularly to the Economics department and Prof. Kusum Shakya. Throughout this process, both the Nepali government and Tribhuvan University have been committed in supporting my research agenda, for which I am deeply grateful. I also want to thank both the commercial bank and finance company that allowed me to observe their work.
