  • Nepal, Bhutan and Their Neighbours Two Himalayan Countries Landlocked Between India and China
    BRIEFING Nepal, Bhutan and their neighbours Two Himalayan countries landlocked between India and China SUMMARY Nepal and Bhutan are two poor landlocked Himalayan countries, sandwiched between a democracy and an authoritarian one-party state: India and China. After an authoritarian past, during the last decade, they have begun reforms in order to switch towards a democratic model. After a long and complicated path, Nepal succeeded in adopting a new constitution in 2015. Its first post-constitution government is run by an alliance of communist parties. In Bhutan, the king has successfully steered the country towards democratisation, as confirmed by the October 2018 general elections. While historically the two countries have nurtured solid relations with India, in recent years Beijing has expanded its footprint in the region considerably, challenging Delhi's traditional sphere of influence and increasing its sense of encirclement. In 2017 this led to a crisis referred to as the 'Doklam Plateau standoff'. There is currently a window of opportunity for Nepal and Bhutan to diversify their economic and security partnership and to rebalance their foreign policies between their two big neighbours. The EU has been supporting the two countries on their democratic journey and tripled resources for both countries' development for the 2014-2020 period. As they are among the world's poorest countries, Nepal and Bhutan benefit from the EU's 'Everything But Arms' scheme, which grants full duty free and quota free access to the EU single market for all

  • DRUK NYAMRUP TSHOGPA Ii
    MANIFESTO 2013 : DRUK NYAMRUP TSHOGPA ii MANIFESTO 2013 : DRUK NYAMRUP TSHOGPA iii NEW TIMES, NEW IDEAS. PPeople’seople’s GGovernmentovernment ...must be in the hands of the people! MANIFESTO 2013 : DRUK NYAMRUP TSHOGPA iv Foreword by the PRESIDENT e, the Bhutanese are once more on the threshold of exercising our fundamental rights of shaping the Wdestiny of this nation, our motherland. This choice that we make will either set ablaze the ideals of democracy that we so deeply treasure. This historic hour summons DNT to rise up and answer to the call and the yearning of the Bhutanese citizens for a country that is united in peace and harmony; a government that is strong, stable and trust worthy; an economy that is progressive and sustainable; a society that prioritises happiness and bear responsibility for the elderly and the vulnerable; and a party that connects with people and bridges the gaping disparities between the rich and the downtrodden. Our kings have consolidated our sovereignty, strengthened our institutions and prepared us for the future. With democracy, all that we have witnessed in the last fi ve years was a chain of uneventful happenings: the collapse of our economy; failures and losses in opportunities; escalation in corruption and nepotism; gaping holes and disastrous fl aws in policies, of which rupee shortage and credit crunch stands as just one example. This has slackened businesses and put household plans to a standstill. Thus, 2013 beckons the Bhutanese for a greater responsibility and a fuller participation towards making a wiser choice & we must rise up and let our voices ring loud and clear to usher in change.
