Understanding Problems of Nepal
Continued...
International Relations
Being landlocked with embraced by India in its three directions, Nepal has to experience frequent interventions in Nepali internal polity from south block and occasionaly from northern block China, Nepal seems to be a play ground for both super power neighbours. 
On the other hand, this cat and mouse, hide and seek game between two giants has given Nepal an advantage to protect itself. From a few past decades, Nepali politicians seem to be being sought south block's patronization because of its close bilateral relations with the US. Meanwhile the US has been much interested in Nepal since it has been a geopolitically suitable location which could help the US to keep on surveillance to India and China on their military enhancements and human right issues. In addition, the tie between India and the US has posed a pressure on Nepal not to be stern to the protests in connection with Tibetian refugees. Contrast to South pressure, Nepal has to make China happy by avoiding Tibetan campaign/protest against it. Instead of being squeezed by two giant powers, Nepal has to find a permanent solution through strong bilateral and multilateral dimplomacy. Nepal needs to seek the same solution with Tibetan refugees like third country resettlement of Bhutanese refugees.
After civil war, Nepal desperately needs foreign aids to reconstruct or revive its drowning economy. Besides, reconstruction Nepal has to take initiatives of strong economic take off policy. In order to experience economic boom, Nepal should be free of diplomatic battlefield of international powers. Excluding all, an effective clinical tool for prosperity is a heavy investment in education. Nepal has to focus on knowledge based capital in close coordination with international community. To attract more international direct investment, Nepal has to review its diplomatic policy especially through international and national NGOs and national planning commission with an implication to new foreign policy.
