Soft cover. Condition: New. Backfire in Nepal explores how China has become the ultimate beneficiary of India's democracy-promotion agenda in Nepal. New Delhi had made a bold bet in 2005, but one that contained two mutually fortifying flaws: the abolition of the monarchy and the empowerment of the former Maoist rebels. The world's only Hindu monarch and kingdom were bound to India in a special relationship that neither country needed to define or assert. True, Indians had been put off by successive Nepalese monarchs playing New Delhi off against Beijing. In retrospect, a little more compassion for Nepal's compulsions might have put things into sharper relief. Nepalese Maoists, being communists first, were trained to denounce Indian 'expansionism' before American 'imperialism'. Experience may have impelled the senior leadership to make practical compromises. It was a leap of faith for New Delhi to trust the leadership to rein in their cadres' radicalism. More broadly, since India had also enlisted Western democracies, it needed to address their often-contradictory concerns throughout Nepal's turbulent transition. The Chinese could act purely on their national interests. India continues to misread how Beijing sees Nepal both in terms of China's visions of the past and the future. This complicates the core trilateral challenge: ensuring that Nepal is not sucked deeper into the Sino-Indian vortex, only to be scorned for aggravating the Asian giants' rivalry.…

This complicates the core trilateral challenge: ensuring that Nepal is not sucked deeper into the Sino-Indian vortex, only to be scorned for aggravating the Asian giants rivalry." China benefits from India's democracy promotion in Nepal due to India's flawed decisions in 2005. The abolition of the monarchy and empowerment of Maoist rebels backfired, leading to Nepal being drawn closer to China. India's misreading of China's intentions complicates efforts to prevent Nepal from being caught in the Sino-Indian rivalry.

Hardcover. Condition: VG. From the Foreword: Plasma and Laser Technology have found numerous applications for the processing of materials. These include, synthesis of non-equilibrium compounds, machining of ceramics and deposition of materials, both in bulk and thin film forms. Future applications will be limited only by mankind's imagination. This book contains invited and contributed papers presented in the conference on "Plasma and Laser Processing of Materials," held in New Orleans, Louisiana, February, 18-22,1991. This conference was jointly sponsored by the Structural Materials Division and Electronic and Photonic divisions of TMS. The principal purpose of this conference was to provide a state-of-the-art review of Plasma assisted PVD, PACVD, and Laser enhanced CVD processes. This was achieved by encompassing papers dealing with basic fundamentals of Plasma and Laser assisted technology, and also, in-depth papers related to continuing research on synthesis of metastable compounds i,e, c-BN , Diamond and deposition of thin and bulk films. These papers were presented by a broad group of researchers and scientists representing university, federal laboratories, and industries. It is my hope that this book will be an excellent first reading for those engineers and scientists engaged in the Plasma and Laser assisted materials processing technologies. 381 pages.…
