It is a well-known fact that international relations has evolved in the past around the interaction between sovereign states. Because of the interconnectedness and complexity of the globalized world, the non-state actors also significantly influence international affairs at present. International organizations such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization are playing a significant role in addressing global issues. Similarly, multinational companies have significant economic leverage which allows them to exercise soft power and influence state policies. As diplomacy is a major tool of foreign policy and international relations, its effectiveness is always desirable. Through the conduct of effective diplomacy, Nepal can receive adequate amount of development assistance and foreign direct investment to meet the country’s requirements for development. Unfortunately, foreign investors express their concern about the lack of a foreign investment[1]friendly environment. Nepal is also unable to absorb foreign assistance received from the development partners on stipulated time. Its expenditure level, on average, is less than sixty percent since the last decade. Therefore, massive improvement is needed both internally and externally, to improve this situation.

“…And Bastagli et al ( 2016 ) confirm a clear relationship between cash transfer receipt and increased school attendance, the use of health services and investment in livestock and agricultural assets. If well designed, social protection can thus be a key driver of pro-poor growth: growth that benefits predominantly low-income people (Alderman and Yemtsov 2014 ; Bhalla et al 2021 ; Ravallion et al 2018 ; Sabates-Wheeler and Devereux 2011 ).…”

Disentangling the Relationship Between Social Protection and Social Cohesion: Introduction to the Special Issue

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

While there is substantial evidence of the effect of social protection on poverty and vulnerability, limited research has focused on societal outcomes. This paper serves as introduction to a special issue (SI) examining the relationship between social protection and social cohesion in low- and middle-income countries. Over the last years, social cohesion has emerged as a central goal of development policy. The introduction and the papers in the SI use a common definition of social cohesion as a multi-faceted phenomenon, comprising three attributes: cooperation, trust and inclusive identity. This introductory article provides a conceptual framework linking social protection to social cohesion, shows the current empirical evidence for the bi-directional linkages, and highlights how the papers in the SI contribute to filling existing research gaps. In addition to this introduction, the SI encompasses seven papers, covering different world regions and social protection schemes, and using different quantitative and qualitative methods.

“…The shortfall in agricultural production is often referred to as "the yield gap", or the difference between actual and potential yields for a specific time and place (Beddow et al, 2015;Cassman and Grassini, 2020). There is substantial scope to increase agricultural production in many African countries through intensification and extensification of agro-climatically suitable land, which would enable the region to meet much of its growing food demand (Bhalla et al, 2021;Djoumessi, 2022;Searchinger et al, 2015). The Global Yield Gap Atlas (GYGA) shows that Sub-Saharan African countries have a gap that varies from 70% to 90% of their potential yield.…”
