  • Limits of the Humanitarian: Studies in Situations of Forced Migration
    Limits of the Humanitarian: Studies in Situations of Forced Migration Shiva K. Dhungana Priyanca Mathur Velath & Nanda Kishor Eeva Puumala 2007 December 2007 Published by: Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group GC-45, Sector - III, First Floor Salt Lake City Kolkata - 700 106 India Web: http://www.mcrg.ac.in Printed by: Timir Printing Works Pvt. Ltd. 43, Beniapukur Lane Kolkata - 700 014 The publication is part of the course material of the CRG Annual Winter Course on Forced Migration. The support of the UNHCR New Delhi, the Government of Finland and the Brookings Institution, Washington DC is kindly acknowledged. 2 Contents Preface 4 Essay-I: The Policy of the Government of Nepal towards the Internally Displaced Persons Shiva K Dhungana 5 Essay-II: Finland’s Immigration Policy and its Dilemmas Priyanca Mathur Velath & Nanda Kishore 38 Essay-III: What is it to be Many? Eeva Puumala 50 3 Preface [While forced migration is the central theme of the three studies presented here, what brings them together between the covers is their discussion of the limits of the humanitarian gaze represented primarily by the national policies followed towards the victims of forced migration and secondarily through the lens of the typical cameraperson who shoots them as a stranger. As “forced migration” turns into a public issue with the beginning of the new millennium - thanks to the efforts of the UN, other multilateral bodies, and various public forums of the victims – the humanitarian gaze becomes overwhelming, in the process making the victim an object of charity and protection. The victim’s transformation into such an object coincides with a surge of national and international policies showered on them.

  • Democratic Accountability in South Asia
    Democratic Accountability in Local Governance: Experiences from South Asia Democratic Accountability in Local Governance Institutions Experiences from South Asia PRIA Global Partnership 42 Tughlakabad Institutional Area New Delhi – 110062 www.pria.org PRIA Global Partnership Democratic Accountability in Local Governance: Experiences from South Asia Copyright©PRIA, 2011 Readers are welcome to reproduce, free of charge, materials published in this document. We request clear acknowledgement of PRIA Global Partnership (PGP). PRIA Global Partnership i Democratic Accountability in Local Governance: Experiences from South Asia As the countries in South Asia embark upon decentralisation and strengthening of local governance institutions, it is imperative that the accountability mechanisms for these institutions are established, made functional and institutionalised. However, there have been a general dissatisfaction and disappointments with the institutional accountability mechanisms, as they could hardly ensure downward accountability of the local governance institutions to the citizens at large and to the poor and the marginalised in particular. Civil Society Organisations (CSO) and various citizen associations, in the last decade, have come forward not only to demand accountability from these institutions but also innovated a variety of mechanism to hold the elected local governments accountable within the framework of participatory democracy. Such approaches, mechanisms and tools fall under the broad rubric of social accountability. In many South Asian countries, the use of such social accountability mechanisms by the citizens are changing the nature of relationship between the state and the citizen, thereby fostering a new way of looking at citizenship. The current study was undertaken with a view to analyse such experiences from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka so that the lessons could be shared with a range of practitioners and policy makers.

  • Economic Survey
    Unofficial Translation Economic Survey Fiscal Year 2015/16 Government of Nepal Ministry of Finance 2016 Foreword The prime objective of the government has been to bring social and economic transformation through rapid economic growth by executing the Constitution subsequent to its promulgation by the historic Constituent Assembly. Country’s economic policy should be guided towards attaining sustainable economic development by achieving rapid economic growth through maximum utilization of available means and resources, and making national economy self-reliant, independent, and prosperous by ending disparity through judicious distribution of benefits. Socialism-oriented, self reliant and competent economy needs to be developed through extensive investment mobilization by putting the revival of economy on the top priority with removal of negative impacts rendered by the devastating earthquake and inconvenient supply situation as a result of border obstructions. This Economic Survey for fiscal year 2015/16 has been prepared with analytical review of achievements made through implementation of key economic policies. Impact and trend analyses of programs have been carried out by incorporating those programs considered vital from economic and social perspectives. I am confident that this Economic Survey would serve as an useful source of reference for those who are interested and have concerned over the country’s economic activities including sector line agencies, intellectuals, researchers, employees, teachers, students, industrialists, businessmen, NGOs, people in general and Nepal's development partners, as well as foreign investors. Last but not the least, I would like to extend my thanks to the Ministry of Finance , Chief of Economic Policy Analysis Division including all personnel, various Ministries, departments and other concerned entities who have extended their supports to this work by providing data, information and other details.
