Bhutan’s Dream City of Thimphu / Khamrang, Leishipem   Journal Article
Khamrang, Leishipem Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Buttressed by the philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH), Bhutan’s development policies are inherently grounded in balancing material and spiritual well-being, while Bhutan’s capital city, Thimphu, has over the past few decades experienced phenomenal growth and urban transformation. This article builds on the notion of socio-spatial dialectic to examine the new forms of social ordering in the urban space of Thimphu. Critiquing the idealisation of Thimphu as a dream city for all, it endorses instead the development of regional growth centres and small towns. This underlines the potential of stimulating regional economic development, as a better strategy for inclusive growth and actualisation of Bhutan’s philosophy of GNH.

Thimphu at Three: where Indo-Pakistan relations treading? / Chakraborty, Mohor   Journal Article
Chakraborty, Mohor Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The Thimphu SAARC Summit held in 2010 has definitely been a watershed in the recent trajectory of Indo-Pakistan relations. The Summit paved the way for turning the tide of trust deficit in the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai carnage towards trust building. In the post-Thimphu period, a number of factors have facilitated the stepping up of bilateral ties. On the other hand, there have been occasional blemishes in the complexion of mutual relations as well. Keeping this backdrop in mind, the present article attempts to analyze the path in which the tidal stream of Indo-Pakistan relations is flowing and what the future has in store for it.
