Abstract
AbstractThis paper proposes that Nepal's unalterable geographic position does not necessarily have to be disadvantageous for Nepal, and the state needs to get over the syndromes of land-lockedness and smallness. Sorting out its domestic matters is historically sound diplomacy. The foreign policy of Nepal as regards India and China needs to focus not only on a small state's survival strategies, but also in order to thrive Nepal needs to upgrade its diplomatic faculties and make use of regional forums such as SAARC for reinforcing its neighbourhood comity and economic diplomacy. Small states like Nepal can influence the foreign policies of superpowers like India and China. In this milieu, the paper charts out the constraints and prospects of the relations of Nepal with its immediate neighbours that has, to date, been grounded in the conventional notion of equidistance.
