Public and international affairs are an exciting discipline to learn, examine, and analyze in the everyday life-world. This compendium is a collection of miscellany essays penned from 2002 to 2020 when the author began his schooling in the specialization of politics and international relations in India. It is an escape or flight into the field of study in foreign policy, foreign relations, and foreign affairs from the humdrum of domestic politics. However, domestic and international politics are overlapping and cutting corners. Intermestic i. e. international and domestic politics impinge our life world.
The first section begins with a brief sketch and conceptualization of world affairs. It captures succinctly the contemporary state of flux in the world. Our small state complex is part and parcel of Nepal's history. But the role of small soft power can be achieved if the state attempts to normalize and deliver both in government and governance. The writer provides a primer on foreign policy posture. Furthermore, Nepal's geopolitical dynamics are taken into consideration vis-?-vis its relations to India and China in the immediate neighborhood. The first section devotes to these issues including cultural diplomacy, economic diplomacy, and Asian peace with comments on democratic peace building in Nepal, and linking economics and peace coining the term "paxonomics."
The book's interval reveals the author's vocation and pulses in politics and international affairs. This second section dwells on Chinese affairs, a classical concept of Thucydides Trap from a critical perspective, the buzz of Hong Kong dissents, Indian democracy, Japanese affairs, savoring the counter-narrative of America, Puerto Rico's political scuffle with the American Administration, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Lebanese polity in crises, the Arabiaphobia in the West, the petering out of the so-called the rogue states, and a graduation of the Least Developed Countries, a postscript from Nepal on Millennium Development Goals, and international politics in the aftermath of COVID 19 pandemic from the Kathmandu perspective in the gist.
While in postlude it maps the global affairs and ends with the afterword. These writings are an excursus into this international domain. And it is a maiden attempt to provide glimpses of the writer's reading on international relations so far.
