Rising powers and security
Interactions of rising powers and established powers and their implications in peacebuilding and security remain underexplored in existing literature. This paper aims to explore inferences of the behaviour of Brazil, China and India in peacebuilding and security, their contention and cooperation with the US and European powers, and implications for the global south. It analyses their interactions in the light of democratic peace propositions, adh…
Optimised or compromised? United Kingdom support to reforming security sector governance in post-war Nepal
UK policies embrace the ideas of security–development nexus, but most scholarship on its engagement builds upon African cases. This paper examines the drivers, nature and implications of UK involvement with an Asian country, Nepal.

This paper uses the grounded theory method and i…

This article reviews SSR experiences in 10 post-war countries and explores the determinants of …

The rebels had launched targeted attacks in big companies and projected business houses merely as 'profit-hungry institutions'. Tn addition, private sector activities have created both hopes and suspicions that persist in the discourse on business and peacebuilding. In this context,…
Wavering between profit-making and change-making
Post-1990 Nepal is remarkable, not only for democratic political change but also for its mushrooming media industry; media companies have been influential actors in conflicts. To analyse their role and motives as private business actors in conflicts, this article explores the dynamics of media engagement, the implications of media companies’ actions and needs, and their motives as corporate actors. The authors focus on two conflicts – the anti-mo…
