This book examines and compares the diverging security approaches
of the UK, China and India in peacebuilding settings, with a
specific focus on the case of Nepal. Rising powers such as China
and India dissent from traditional templates of peacebuilding and
apply their own methods to respond to security issues. This book
fills a gap in the literature by examining how emerging actors
(China and India) engage with security and development and how
their approaches differ from those of a traditional actor (the UK).
In the light of democratic peace and regional security complex
theories, the book interprets interview data to compare and
contrast the engagement of these three actors with post-war Nepal,
and the implications for security sector governance and
peacebuilding. It contends that the UK helped to peacefully manage
transition but that the institutional changes were merely
ceremonial. China and India, by contrast, were more effective in
advancing mutual security agendas through elite-level interactions.
However, the 'hardware' of security, for example material and
infrastructure support, gained more consideration than the
'software' of security, such as meritocratic governance and
institution building. This book will be of much interest to
students of peacebuilding, development studies, Asian politics,
security studies and International Relations in general.
