    Chand publishes paper on Nepal

    February 27, 2023
    UNG assistant professor Dr. Bibek Chand published a discussion paper through the Institute of South Asian Studies.

    Article By: Staff

    Dr. Bibek Chand, a University of North Georgia (UNG) assistant professor of political science and international affairs, recently published a discussion paper on Nepal through the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) as part of a series titled "Nepal's Foreign Policy in a Changing World."

    "It feels great to foster this conversation and get people talking," Chand, a native of Nepal, said. "It has helped me grow as a scholar. Research is my passion and it gets me going. I am continuously looking for students who would be interested in researching in my field."

    Chand's paper,  "Nepal and Regionalism: Convergence of Geo-economic and Normative Interests," analyzes how Nepal tries to overcome its geographical challenges and limited material capabilities by participating in international organizations and supporting global norms.

    Chand submitted this discussion paper after an invitation from the Nepal Institute for International Cooperation and Engagement's (NIICE) research director Pramod Jaiswal.

    He is also mentoring two students Jessica Case and Nathanael Hines on their research project titled "Analyzing Political Rhetoric during War: A Case Study of the Conflict in Ukraine," which recently earned a Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (CURCA) Student-Faculty Collaborative Mini-grant.

    Chand is always looking for new ways to get students interested in research and make room for exploring interests as he has been able to do with this discussion paper. He says the assistance from CURCA and the supportive environment in the Department of Political Science and International Affairs has helped him inspire students.

    "When I teach I always encourage students to think about their own research interests," Chand said. "This is a great starting point to get some professional writing under their belt. It's an illustration that if I can do it, so can you. There are always conversations going on in international politics and I want students to know that they can contribute to them.”
