This book  is  a  critical  articulation  of  Nepal’s connectivity  geopolitics,  offering  a  triangular  analysis  of  the country's  geopolitics,  connectivity  and  foreign  policy.  By elucidating the  interplay  between  these  elements,  it contributes  to  a  deeper  understanding  of  how  smaller  states strategically balance aspirations and trade-offs in navigating   the  contemporary  reality  of  connectivity geopolitics  amidst  competing  global  interests.  Furthermore,  it helps us  examine  how  insights  generated  from  a  country's history  of  strategic  culture  could  be  valuable  in  navigating  the contemporary reality of connectivity geopolitics and why one should not take foreign support for connectivity at face value.The narrative portrays the Cold War and post-Cold War dynamics between superpowers and regional powers like China and India in South Asia, elucidating how their relations shape the region's politics. This study also examines how smaller states such as Nepal establish their agency by navigating external pressures while asserting their strategic interests. By introducing connectivity as an analytical lens, the book transcends the conventional lens of security and small state as approaches to Nepal’s foreign policy. Central to the book's analysis is Nepal's foreign policy and its navigation of regional politics, striving to balance the interests of India and China during the Cold War era and also the contemporary era. Consequently, regional politics emerges as a prominent theme within the book.
