Texte intégralRésumé :
This article, Effects of Coronavirus on Nepalese Economy, focuses on the effects the coronavirus had on the economic growth in Nepal during the pandemic situation. The main objective of this study was to explore the effects of COVID-19 on the Nepalese economy and to provide some guidance to policymakers to minimize the economic losses from COVID-19. This study employed a descriptive research design to explore the impact of COVID-19 on Nepal’s GDP growth. The results indicate that the virus was found to be hitting these sectors hardest: mining and quarrying, industrial sectors, construction sectors, hotel and restaurant sectors, transportation, communication, and storage sectors. The expected growth rate of these sectors exhibits negative scenarios; however, the estimated growth rate of fishery, electricity, gas and water, health and social work, and public administration and defense exhibits positive scenarios.

Vaidya, Rashesh. « Contribution of Mountaineering Tourism to Nepalese Economy ». Nepalese Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management 4, no 1 (22 mars 2023) : 35–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njhtm.v4i1.53313.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Snow-capped mountains and Nepal are analogous. The mountains have become synonymous with Nepal. The mountains that run along Nepal's northern border have become not only a symbol of the country but also an important part of its economy. The nation and the Nepalese tourism industries have been branding the snow-capped mountains to attract tourists from around the world. Mountaineers around the world visit Nepal to conquer the mountains. In the process of mountaineering, Nepal has been generating a good amount of revenue. Hence, the paper tries to find out the contribution of mountain tourism to the Nepalese economy. For this purpose, the paper followed a correlation research design. The paper found a perfect connection between the number of mountaineers arriving in Nepal and the royalty collection from them. Hence, the increasing number of mountaineers ultimately determined the royalty collection from mountaineering. Nevertheless, the paper also disclosed that the number of expedition teams and mountaineers arriving in Nepal for mountaineering has a positive connection with the real gross domestic product (GDP) of Nepal.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Nepal and India share interdependence with each other regarding economy and politics. India, as a powerful nation with adequate structural power, has been seen meddling with Nepal’s internal affairs and exploiting its economic and political vulnerability. The overall objective of this paper is to analyze the Nepalese foreign policies towards India and its attempt to escape this asymmetrical interdependence throughout the history till date. This paper also tries to identify the factors that influence the formulation of Nepalese foreign policies as well as the consequences of the implemented policies. Additionally, the study shows that with the ongoing radical changes brought by series of democratic successes in Nepalese political system, the traditional approach of Nepalese political leaders that existed before can be changed. Nepal is at a critical juncture where the policies it will make can change significantly with the assistance of international and regional regimes.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper seeks to examine the productivity of Tax Revenue (TR) in the Nepalese economy. It, therefore, analyzes the impact of TR on GDP in aggregate level. This study adopts explanatory research design and attempts to determine the relationship between TR and the GDP. Exchange rate, market capitalization money supply and government spending being the intervening variables included in the model. In order for the specification of a model of co integrated regression model with a time series data of the variables are employed for the study period of 20 years, from 1999/2000 to 2018/19. The values of all the variables are converted into real price (constant price) by GDP deflator. The GDP deflator and CPI year 2013/14 have been assumed equivalent to the base year 2013/14 according to Nepalese fiscal year. Since it is observed that residuals are not normally distributed, autocorrelation and multi-co linearity problem in the model, it is necessary to improve the non-normal distribution, autocorrelation and multi-co linearity problem in the model. Therefore, the data are transposed into first difference and run the model with error correction model (ECMt-n). The R2 shows that the explanatory power of the model, indicating that the variation of GDP is explained to the extent of 81 percent variation of the independent variable included in the model. The estimated coefficient of TR in error correction model shows that one percent point rise in TR has led to0.17645 percent point increase in real GDP in short run, whereas it is found 0.21364 percent point in the long-run. This is supported by (World bank, 2003, 2007, 2018) using a large sample of developing countries observed over the period 1980-2006, and even after factoring in the endogeneity of tax revenue.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study aims to investigate the relationship between Nepal’s industrial sector output, economic expansion, and CO2 emissions. The analysis uses secondary data from various World Bank reports and covers the period from 1990 to 2022. It is founded on an exploratory and analytical research design. The relationship and effect of Nepal’s GDP and manufacturing output on CO2 emissions are investigated using various statistical and econometric tools, including descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, unit root testing, Granger causality test, Johansen co-integration test, and autoregressive regression model. The results show that the production of the industrial sector and CO2 emissions are highly positively correlated, as is GDP. The GDP granger causes CO2 emissions, but manufacturing output does not. Johansen’s co-integration test shows a long-term relationship between predictor and response variables. The previous value of CO2 emission is also responsible for the present level of carbon emissions: a one percent increase in GDP leads to a 0.314 percent increase in CO2 emissions in Nepal. The impact of industrial sector output is statistically insignificant. The condition of GDP and CO2 emissions shows the initial phase of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). The study recommends adopting an environment-friendly production technique to overcome the problem of carbon emissions in Nepal.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study focuses on the role of remittances in the Nepalese economy drawing on data from the different secondary data. It analyzes the influence on household income, poverty alleviation, and overall economic development. The research then presents regression analysis between remittance and HDI and finds a high correlation. While finding remittance to be critical to Nepal's improving quality of life, the study also highlights challenges associated with remittances, including brain drain and over reliance. The article advocates for a strategic approach to continue maximizing their positive impact on the national economic landscape.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Nepal faced serious economic crisis during mid 1980s. Overall balance of payment of the country turned negative in 1982/83 and it remained in the same pattern for three consecutive years. Nepal approached the IMF and the World Bank for their support in solving the economic crises that were being experienced at that time. In response to Nepal's approach these institutions helped Nepal with financial assistance with conditions in order to tide over the external imbalance. These institutions made reformation policies and Nepal had to implement these policies. Nepal entered into the new era of international economic order termed as 'Globalisation'. Nepal formulated and implemented many economic reformation policies compatible with the process of globalisation, liberalisation and privatisation in order to accelerate the process of economic globalisation. This paper aims at studying and analyzing effects of globalisation of Nepalese economy on GDP growth rate and its composition during last three decades starting from 1991/92. The study finds that the globalisation of Nepalese economy has not been able to accelerate the pace of economic growth at desired level.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Both developing and developed countries have made a significant study of remittance and labor migration. Developing countries have attained benefits from remittance to uplift economic activities like maintaining household consumption, increasing pattern of saving and investment, receiving foreign currencies for imports, making favorable balance of payments, diplomatic activities, enhancing social and infrastructural development and maintain macroeconomic stability. The study explores the role and challenges of remittance in Nepalese economy. No doubt, Nepal as least developing country attains lots of benefits from remittance and labor migration. Along with such economic and social benefits, remittance generates a lot challenges in economy such as brain drain, trade deficit, shortage of man power, higher labor cost, backwardness of productive sectors of economy and a lot of social problems. The study also points out of effective use of remittance that helps to mobilize internal resource to create employment opportunities in a country with a formulation of proper implementation of necessary policy regarding a proper utilization of remittance.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Economic diplomacy is concerned with how a government maintains economic relations with other nations and what steps it might take to enhance its economy. If economic and diplomatic relations are good, more benefits can be reaped from diplomatic partner countries. Economic diplomacy plays an important role in a country’s ability to prioritize and benefit from deployment partners. By developing economic diplomatic connections, Nepal has the opportunity to profit from the neighboring countries. Despite the differences in the ideology and vision of political parties, it is necessary for the country, the people and development to rise above partisan vision and move forward with a new vision. Reaching more economic benefits from respectable and balanced economic diplomacy has become imperative. This study has been conducted to review economic diplomacy and examine the impact of economic diplomatic relations on foreign direct investment, foreign employment, and the tourism economy. It measured the impact of economic diplomatic relations on FDI, foreign employment and the tourism economy by applying multiple regression models. The impact of FDI, foreign employment and the tourism economy has been analyzed from 2001 to 2019. The study’s finding shows that there has been a significant impact on remittance income and incomes from the tourism industry.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This dissertation addresses the empirical issues pertaining to technology adoption decisions, agricultural commodity price volatility and the effects of remittances on recipient households combined with the motivation of migration decisions in low-income countries such as Nepal under the theories of incomplete and imperfect markets. This dissertation contains three substantive essays applying a number of econometric models to test a number of the hypotheses using both panel and cross-section data from the Ne-pal Living Standard Surveys and time series data for commodity prices and farm yields. Summaries of these essays are presented as follows.
The first paper examines factors affecting the adoption of improved seeds and in-organic fertilizers. I consider the adoptions of both these technologies as a joint decision and estimate over two repeated cross-section data from NLSSs. Both probit GMM with the moment restrictions and Linear Probability Models for period 2 (2004) combined with reduced form probit models for both periods and Tobit models were applied to con-trol for plot level, household characteristics, and other factors. The result weakly favours the hypothesis of joint decision. The results show significant effects on adoption decisions for farm technologies from four variables: the factor markets for credit and for labour, agricultural extension services, and household labour endowment. Proximity to road transport and access to markets also increase the adoption rate of improved seeds and inorganic fertilizers. Positive effects were associated with the increasing age and education of household heads with some exceptions. The results from Tobit models were also consistent with the reduced form and structural models with some exceptions. Well-functioning factor markets and well-developed infrastructure emerge as the precondition for agricultural-led growth in Nepal.
The second paper explores how price shocks affect the stability of farmers’ in-come at different levels across different regions of Nepal, using a recent theoretical model that allows examination of the household income variance through combination of household data sets with price and yield time series under the scenarios of actual, full and no exposure to Indian markets. Agricultural income variability is found to be higher among the farmers with higher share of agricultural products (more than 65 percent) in the total household income, followed by 30 to 65 percent share of agricultural products. The results show relatively high income variability in the poor than the non-poor farm households, but their difference is low. The increased income variability of agricultural households, observed in almost all belts and regions, and at all income levels, is attributable to the domestic shocks. In general, the degree of market integration with Indian prices seems to be widely affected by the geographical heterogeneity in Nepal. Granger-causality tests show a higher integration between border markets of both countries, revealing that Nepalese commodity prices follow Indian prices with the exception of some commodities in some border markets.
Finally, the third paper analyses the effect of remittance income on the hours of work in remittance-receiving households using panel data from the Nepal Living Standard Surveys. The study applies a number of econometric models to explain the impact of remittance income on the hours of work in different sectors (i.e. on-farm, self-employment, off-farm and hired labour) taking into account various methodological is-sues (endogeneity and selection bias) for migration decision and remittances. I first use a Zero Inflated Poisson model to examine the factors motivating migration. I then apply random effects model and instrumental variable Tobit models for estimating the impact of remittances on the household work hours both for different sectors and separately for working age men and women. Evidence shows that rural people with larger family size and higher per capita income without remittances have higher probability to go migrate. Remittances decrease work hours in a number of sectors, but increases work hours of hired labour in remittance-receiving households. Remittance income seems to be a substitute of non-labour income for remittance-receiving households. No significant effects on off-farm and self-employment activities were observed in the sample households. In contrast, non labour income appears to increase work hours of household members. Moreover, demographic characteristics seem to be an influential factor for the allocation of household work hours, implying that higher family size leads to higher work hours, and a larger number of children leads to a reduction of work hours of females, but not of males. Educated people are also more likely to increase their work hours.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis examines the diplomatic, military and economic interventions of three external state actors – namely, India, China and the United States – during Nepal’s peace process (2005-2015). It identifies three critical junctures in Nepal’s peace process that were likely to be influenced by external interventions: the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) 2006, the Constituent Assembly (CA) Elections 2008, and the Constitution of Nepal 2015. Introducing an external intervention typology framework, this research identifies and compares the specific nature of the interventions undertaken by each of the three external actors at each of the three critical junctures. By examining the wide range of intervening measures used by India, China and the US, it finds that the relative influence wielded by each actor varied at each juncture: while India was more influential than China and the US during negotiations over the CPA, it was the least influential actor during the Constitution promulgation phase. Similarly, while China and the US failed to influence the peace process outcomes during the first critical juncture, their interventions corresponded with the peace process outcomes during the third critical juncture. Thus, although each of the three external actors influenced the peace process at particular junctures, none were influential enough to alter the trajectory of the peace process in its entirety, either positively or negatively. This thesis thus argues that in cases such as that of Nepal, a relatively small state which is subject to the competing interests of great powers and big neighbours can exercise agency, defy external powers’ interventions that do not serve the interests of peace, and shape the trajectory of its own peace process. It demonstrates that at each of the three critical junctures, domestic political actors were able to capitalise on strategic competition between India, China, and the US, to achieve the support of at least one of these external actors. Similarly, local actors were also able to resist interventions that appeared to be against domestic peace process initiatives, by gaining the backing of one or more of the intervening state’s strategic competitors. That is, domestic political actors were able to lead and control the peace process by using the complex geopolitical context and the competing strategic interests of great powers and neighbours to their advantage.
With extensive interviews of influential politicians, diplomats, bureaucrats and/or scholars from Nepal, India, China and the United States, this thesis not only produces a comprehensive, in-depth, and original research study on external interventions in Nepal’s peace process, but it also offers insights on how a small power can gain agency to tackle major powers and big neighbours to lead and protect its peace process, especially when the civil war country has a complex geopolitical milieu and competing strategic interests of big powers and neighbours.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Texte intégralRésumé :
Doutor em SociologiaNo âmbito deste estudo, procuramos analisar os processos de transnacionalismo implicados nas actividades desenvolvidas pelos empresários e trabalhadores nepaleses imigrantes em Lisboa. Em particular, detalhamos as características gerais da recente imigração nepalesa para Portugal e a saliência das redes coétnicas transnacionais, entre os empresários e trabalhadores nepaleses em Lisboa. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa, juntando, à observação participante, diário de campo e método etnográfico, a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 36 empresários e 30 trabalhadores nepaleses na cidade de Lisboa. Descrevemos perfis de empresários e trabalhadores nepaleses, nas semelhanças e diferenças registadas entre uns e outros, procuramos determinar se há reconstrução ou reprodução dos grupos étnicos nepaleses na imigração nepalesa e averiguamos as práticas transnacionais entre eles. Escrutinamos os factores determinantes da iniciativa empresarial da imigração nepalesa em Lisboa, e o papel específico das redes coétnicas transnacionais nesse empresarialismo, assim como na inserção dos imigrantes no mercado de trabalho. Traçamos conclusões acerca das características particulares dos empresários nepaleses, detalhamos estratégias de financiamento e o modo de desenvolvimento do seu empreendedorismo, além de justificarmos o uso da designação "economia(s) étnica(s)", para descrever as suas actividades de negócio. Ponderamos, ainda, os modos de transnacionalismo observados e as formas de ajuda ao desenvolvimento do Nepal declaradas. Enfim, comparamos os nossos resultados com aqueles obtidos para outras imigrações sul-asiáticas em Lisboa, e para outras imigrações nepalesas na Europa e no mundo, além de sintetizarmos os nossos contributos e indicarmos algumas vias de pesquisa e indagação futuras.
In this study, we analyze the processes of transnationalism involved in the activities of the Nepalese immigrant entrepreneurs and workers in Lisbon. In particular, we detail the general characteristics of the recent Nepalese immigration to Portugal and the salience of transnational coethnic networks, among Nepalese entrepreneurs and workers in Lisbon. This is a qualitative and quantitative research, combining participant observation, the field diary and ethnographic method, with semi-structured interviews to 36 Nepalese entrepreneurs and 30 Nepalese workers in the city of Lisbon. We describe, in detail, the profiles of the Nepalese businessmen and workers, their similarities and differences, aiming to determine whether there is reconstruction or reproduction of the Nepalese ethnic groups in the Nepalese immigration and exploring transnational practices among them. We scrutinize the main determinants of entrepreneurship for the Nepalese immigration in Lisbon, as well as the specific role of transnational coethnic networks in such entrepreneurship and on the insertion of Nepalese immigrants in the local labor market. We draw conclusions about the particular characteristics of the Nepalese entrepreneurs, detailing their financing strategies and specific ways of entrepreneurial development, and we also justify the use of the term "ethnic economy(ies)", to describe their business activities. Furthermore, we ponder the modes of transnationalism observed and the forms of aid to the development of Nepal, declared by our interviewees. Finally, we compare our results with those obtained regarding other south-asian immigrants in Lisbon, as well as other Nepalese immigrations in Europe and the world - in addition to synthesizing our contributions, and indicating some useful pathways for future research and inquiry.

Texte intégralRésumé :
A central concern of this study is to confront both neoclassical and Marxist interpretations of two “semi-feudal” institutions—bonded labor and sharecropping—which are regarded as either inert and inefficient, by neoclassical economists or as repressive and exploitative, by Marxists. Both interpretations believe the demise of these institutions to be inevitable and welcome, and explain their prevalence and persistence by situating these institutions in a “prolonged transition” from feudalism to capitalism. Both interpretations are united in their assumptions that non-wage relations such as bonded labor and sharecropping (and the multitude of contractual arrangements they encompass) are static, homogenous, and an obstacle to technological change and economic development. This dissertation seriously questions whether these contracts are less “advanced” than fixed-rent or wage contracts, and challenges these assumptions both theoretically and empirically. In particular, I challenge the common perception that both bonded labor employment contracts in the labor market and sharecropping contracts in the land rental market are undifferentiated categories. Part I highlights the importance of taking labor heterogeneity into account, and develops a dissaggregated approach to do so. Important quality variation in different labor-employment types is found to lie in the differing incentives and wage characteristics each type of labor faces. Part II explores differences within sharecropping contracts, in which the labor and land markets overlap. We differentiate sharecropping contracts by the social distance that keeps tenants and landlords apart. This new variable proves to be statistically significant in explaining productivity differentials among share tenants in the Nepalese Tarai.

Texte intégralRésumé :
International student migration is dynamically altering the overall landscape of global higher education. Based on key informants and in-depth interviews with Nepalese students, academia and professionals, this research-qualitative case study reveals the impact of students migrated from small, least developed country to advanced economy. Nepalese students are overwhelmingly motivated for overseas destinations because of which hosts of reasons. Both, the number of students pursuing higher education as well as the destination countries offering these services are on the rise. Australia has always been seen in the top-three destination countries catering international higher education for Nepalese students. A range of push-pull factors interplays in this critical decision at the individual and family levels. In the most conventional form, international higher education goals and subsequent job opportunities are some of the major economic drivers for them. The impact of student migration is also overwhelming. A high level of opportunity costs is associated with this endeavour. The economy is experiencing significant losses of human resources and fiscal capital. Brain drain is an increasing trend due to the exodus of student going for higher studies in the overseas and high rate of migration of Nepalese academia and skilled workers for international jobs. Unfortunately, they seemed quite reluctant to return back in country of origin. Nepal is traversing through the stages of growing inefficiency, massive corruption and political impasses that has jeopardised the rule of law and socio economic development. The long-run political instability has masked overall development signifying a persistent lack of determined leadership with strong political commitment who could fulfil aspirations of common people and create enabling environment to foster the economic growth. Remittance is the result of youth migration. It is mostly sent by labour migrants. Once the student and academic immigrate to a foreign country, there are ample evidences to suggest that these migrant groups also remit small money to the home. The student migration is accelerating day by day. In order to address this distressing scenario, the state should be strategic to formulate relevant policy to implement with both the short-term and long-term goals by ensuring peace and stability in the country so that situation could revitalise higher education and employment sectors with a view to enable a viable environment for the national human resources development and growing productive sectors sustainably. The short-term policy could range from recognising those student returnees who have already demonstrated a high level of skills and entrepreneurships back home to coordinating with Nepalese Diaspora and transnational networks by maintaining an effective database of outgoing students. The long-term policy should gear towards achieving socio-economic goals at the micro and macro levels. For this, the hydro power, tourism, and agro-forestry sectors, rich in bio-diversities, have imminent development potentialities for undergoing a massive socio-economic transformation. Besides, these sectors could absorb both the technical and physical manpower on an unlimited proportion and low economy stage could transform entirely a new hope and direction.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractThis chapter explores the status of environmentally friendly practices and the use of recognition, validation and accreditation (RVA) mechanisms to recognise skills in four major sectors of the Nepalese industry—catering, PVC manufacturing, automotive and waste management. A field survey was conducted on 20 enterprises in the aforementioned sectors. The Nepalese industrial sector is in a very early stage of its development and the level of environmental awareness among employers and employees is very low. Although the present status of the Nepalese industrial sector is at a nascent stage in the creation of green jobs, there seems to be potential for the creation of such opportunities in the future. However, to make use of these opportunities, it is necessary to understand workers’ skills and learning needs that will enable them to work in a way to overcome environmental degradation and mitigate climate change. Green skills that promote greater responsibility towards minimising the negative impact of industrial activities are vital for job creation and sustainable development. The recognition of green skills in the workplace and industry is an area for research that could bring green transformation to the Nepalese economy. The joint efforts of government, enterprises, occupational sectors and training providers, as well as international development partners, are important to institutionalise recognition of green skills in enterprises and industry.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractThis chapter argues that a combined impact of both global and national political economies has propelled out-migration in the last two centuries in Nepal, which also calls for revisiting migration theories. In the past, Nepal’s out-migration was linked to British colonial interest to expand territory under its control. National governments at that time also created conditions – for their own political interests – that forced people to work for the British expansionist interest. This forced migration led to circumstances creating networks for other types of migration. Even at present, Nepal’s high level of migration for long-term contract work in other countries, especially to Malaysia and Gulf countries, are linked to the migration drivers that are rooted in present political-economic situation like conflict, climate change, disasters, and global forces that make local livelihood opportunities like farming precarious. On the other hand, livelihoods supported by migration and remittances further beget more migration. This situation means that traditional labour migration theories that give more attention to differences in wage rates or economic circumstances in different geographical locations need to be revisited. Networks among the migrating families or individuals and trans-national families, institutions and policies, and perceived status that come from migration explain why migration is continuing. This paper also reveals that a single theory cannot explain migration from Nepal as a whole because of different types of migration to different destination.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The trading of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) is a traditional means of livelihood in rural areas along the Trans-Himalayan Silk Road and is an important source of revenue for the government of Nepal. Researchers estimate that the officially recorded export value of Nepalese MAPs is many times less than the amount actually exported. MAPs in Nepal are harvested by individuals mostly from the wild and are channelled through intermediate actors within a confusing policy environment. An official permit is required to collect ‘non-timber forest products’ and the Department of Forestry is responsible for regulating the MAPs trade in Nepal by issuing permits and collecting revenue. The hidden economy and informal practices are thus more likely to be used in sectors where permissions are necessary for harvesting, locally transporting, and exporting any commodity.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This chapter explores the changing dynamics of class and sociocultural differentiation operating in and through elite private schools in contemporary Kathmandu. Long-standing academic perspectives have held that caste-based privileges in Nepal are reproduced through formal education in Nepal. However, dramatic developments in recent decades, including a massive influx of foreign aid, growing urban labour and remittance economy, and substantial infusion of tourist dollars, have led to a significant amount of cash ‘floating around’ in Kathmandu (Liecthy 2003: 51). This highly monetized economy appears to be reshaping Kathmandu’s socio-economic landscape through the formation of a ‘New Rich’—wealthy families from diverse ethnic backgrounds for whom elite education plays an important role in self-construction. Drawing on the unique position of a teacher turned ethnographer, this chapter explores how elite private schools are creating new spaces for sociocultural performance through a neoliberal, international education paradigm. Furthermore, the chapter examines how elite private schools harness a global education market in order to solidify social status in Kathmandu. By shedding light on the ongoing transformations of class and ethnicity among elite private schools, this chapter aims to stimulate renewed considerations of Kathmandu’s social-class structure and the role of elite education in producing and transforming Nepal’s cultural order.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Providing banking services through digital platforms is an emerging channel of service delivery by commercial banks to their customers. especially in a developing country such as Nepal. However, this study aims to determine the customers' behavioral intention towards internet banking usage during COVID-19 in Kathmandu Valley. Data were evaluated quantitatively by using both descriptive and inferential statistics where questionnaire was deigned to collect the data and were entered in a KOBO Toolbox. SEM was used to analyze the relationships from 279 responses from Kathmandu Valley. Findings revealed perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness play a significant role in the behavioral intention towards internet banking during COVID-19, which fits TAM theory. Customers must experience better use of internet banking services without any interruptions, and a revolution in internet services is required in the Nepalese banking industry.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Who are you? Where are you from? How did you end up in Malaysia? These are the common questions that the Nepalese community here in Malaysia has had to respond to many a time. We cannot blame the naïve attitudes that our Malaysians possess but it is a matter of regret that most Malaysians from other ethnic groups are not aware of the Nepalese community here, simply because there has been no exposure to their presence. The intangible heritage of one’s ethnicity and culture play a crucial role in pointing out one’s origin, identity and existence. In the context of tourism, it is essential to sustain this minority group as it may arouse the interest of the Nepalese not only in their motherland but also around the globe. Tourists will be interested to learn about how the Nepali diaspora is able to preserve their unique traditions despite the influence of urbanisation and other culturalisations. The authors would apply the functionalist approach to discuss how the intangible tourism not only benefits the nation’s economy but also functions to prevent the extinction of the Malaysian Nepalese customs. The research questions that are posed for this paper are as follows i) How do the Nepalese Malaysians sustain their intangible heritage? ii) What measures are this minority group taking to safeguard their tradition? and iii) In what way will the preservation be able to benefit the country and themselves? In-depth interviews with 15 informants will be conducted along with consensual audio-recording. Transcriptions of the interviews will analyse the thematic patterns coupled with peer checking to reduce bias for the data to be credible and trustworthy. The outcome of this research will be presented.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Construction significantly influences a country’s economy. The labour efforts are the lifeblood of construction operations. The construction industry has been facing many challenges due to skill shortages in many countries. This study aimed to compare the work-related skills of Sri Lankan labour against foreign labour forces. A qualitative study methodology was adopted through literature reviews and expert interviews to identify the labour skills which influence the productivity of construction operations. The interviews were conducted in two categories. The first category focused on identifying significant labour skills, the second category was conducted to compare the labour skills between Sri Lankan and foreign labour. Chinese, Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Saudi Arabian, Malaysian and Korean labour forces were considered in the pair-wise comparison process. Statement categories and codes were developed to perform this qualitative comparison. The overall results show the need of developing cognitive and self-management skills of Sri Lankan labourers, where the transferable skills are not much important. The study pointed up the importance of developing technical skills of Sri Lankan labour in concreting, bar bending, plastering, tiling, welding, electrical work and equipment handling, to reach the levels of leading foreign labour forces. Labourers’ commitment, punctuality, participation, self-motivation and problem solving were the significant self-management skills in this regard. Kappa statistics resulted in the inter-rater reliability of these findings at a substantial level. The study outcomes can be helpful for the skills development authorities to take actions for filling the skills gap, and also for some foreign construction sectors in similar scenarios

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Soft power is an important instrument of foreign policy and a tool in safeguarding national interests. Under various regimes after the advent of democracy in 1950, Nepal has experienced a turbulent effect of international influence on technology, governance capability, policy transfer, labor migration and climatic affairs. In these contexts, traditional diplomatic effort based on persuasive bargaining requires an interest based practice which is complicated for the countries like Nepal where military power and economy are considered to be public goods rather than strategic base for the expansion of domestic policy making the other countries follow. Nepal creates an exemplary image in coping with the internal and external threats even during the major political transitions in 1950, 1990 and 2006. In all these power sharing mechanisms, the immunity that galvanized internal forces with minimum experience of indirect influence from the neighbouring countries shows that soft power values in Nepal became the major component for managing internal tensions and mitigating external interests. At one hand, the sources of soft power rests on ancient value system and on the other, Nepal celebrates new political system confronting the values earlier regime survived on. Political crisis before 2015 and the natural disaster after it plunged Nepal into a serious threat. During the time of crisis it is need and the value that functions compared to the interest. This paper posits a central question that how soft power became a variant during the war to peace transition from 2006 to the period of implementation of constitution stipulated in 2015 with the result of a stable government. The first part of the paper explores the dimensions of soft power in Nepal- both perceived and practiced- after Jana Aandolan II. The effectiveness of soft power in maintaining the geostrategic importance through a constant coupling of soft power diplomacy adopted and endorsed in Nepal by the external powers and Nepal’s own soft power standpoint will be analyzed in the second part of the paper. The last section of the paper analyzes the challenges for effective implementation of soft power diplomacy in meeting the national interest. Key words: Soft power, geo-strategic importance, national interest

Texte intégralRésumé :
<p>Mobility is one of the most challenging fundamentals of rural livelihood in the Himalayan hills and mountains. More than 8500 trail bridges, comprising an overall span-length of about 650 kilometers have been constructed to date, saving millions of walking hours for people living in the rural Himalayan areas. Previously, crossing rivers was dangerous and sometimes impossible, especially in the rainy season. These bridges created vital connections which enabled children to go to school and people to access public services and visit medical centers and sanctuaries. They also boost local economic output by reducing the effort required to run local farms, gather crops and visit regional markets.</p><p>Fig. 1:The struggles and dangers of crossing a river and its solution</p><p>Swiss technical assistance for rural trail bridges started in the early sixties with the construction of a few suspension bridges in the hill areas of Nepal. In 1964 the Nepalese Government established the Suspension Bridge Division (SBD), and starting in 1972 the Swiss Government began providing continuous technical and financial assistance. Similarly, the Public Works Department in Bhutan initiated a country wide trail bridge construction program in 1971 for which assistance was provided from 1985-2010. Exchanges of experiences between these programs created a collaborative environment where new ideas could be evaluated and tested in the field. After SBD initially developed the basic technical norms, design parameters and standard designs suitable for long-span bridges, demand for simpler shorter span bridges rose tremendously. This prompted the program to develop “community executable bridge designs” adapted to the local skills and materials while conforming to established engineering standards. As a result, cost-effective, easy to implement technologies and community-based approaches were developed, which have been replicated in numerous countries leading to multiple successful partnerships in international development cooperation.</p><p>The purpose of this paper is to highlight the following outcomes of the trail bridge-program:</p><ul><li><p>Standardized cost-effective trail bridge designs based on local capabilities and bridge-building techniques</p></li><li><p>Published of manuals, technical drawings and teaching resources for design, construction and fabrication</p></li><li><p>Engaged local communities in the construction, operation and maintenance of trail bridges</p></li><li><p>Compiled comprehensive trail bridge directory for planning, monitoring and maintenance</p></li><li><p>Established Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) with institutional frameworks at national and local level</p></li><li><p>‘South-South Cooperation’ with Bhutan, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Laos, Burundi, Honduras, Guatemala</p></li></ul>

Texte intégralRésumé :
There are burgeoning hospitality, entertainment, and wellness industries in Nepal. The label ‘Adult Entertainment Sector’, used in anti-trafficking efforts, has resulted in stigmatisation of the owners and, mainly female, workers of some businesses in these industries. Labour intermediaries, who help businesses get employees and workers find jobs, are a critical and often misrepresented part of these informal industries. Women are stuck with few options for safe employment in Nepal or foreign labour migration. Supporting the easy registration and monitoring of these businesses and social protection will improve Nepal’s economy and enhance working conditions.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Child Labour: Action-Research-Innovation in South and South-Eastern Asia (CLARISSA) programme aims to understand the dynamics that are central to running a business in the informal economy of Nepal’s adult entertainment sector, and explore how and why the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) become a feature of business operations. This research paper explores the findings from semi-structured interviews conducted with business owners operating spa and massage parlours, khaja ghars (snack shops), cabin/hostess bars, dance bars, and dohoris (folk-dance bars) in Kathmandu. It explores business owners’ perspectives on the day-to-day running of their businesses; the risks and stressors they face; their aspirations and motivations; and, where possible, their rationale for working with children, and the types of relationships they have with them. In addition to generating business-level evidence, the research provided evidence on a series of three business owner-led Action Research Groups, which began in February 2022 and continued until September 2023. These groups have generated theories of change, and will test and evaluate solutions to shift the system away from WFCL.
