| Author: |
| Edition Year: 2009 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Development |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Prof. Ananda P. Shrestha and Dr. Pushpa Adhikari |
| Abstract: National interest sobers different categories of desire, on the part of sovereign states, that vary enormously from state and from time to time. It may have been different during the time of unification than what it is today when we are talking about a new Nepal. However, there is an irreducible core of any nation state at any time. This core consists of the vital interest, those for which a state is normally willing to fight immediately or ultimately. Such vital interest includes protection of their territory and the preservation of their image. Choices have to be made while formulating policy aimed at preserving and promoting the national. Although the perspectives of a nation define the perception of the choices at hand, the choices themselves are still quite real. |

| Title: The Gender Gap in Basic Education: NGOs as Change Agents |
| Author: |
| Edition Year: 2000 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Development |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Rekha Wazir |
| Abstract: The key distinguished feature of this book is the specific attention given to both the potential and the limitations of the NGO sector in reducing the gender gap in basic education and bringing about incremental changes at the national level. There is wide acceptance of the fact that NGOs are better agents of change that the top-heavy government bureaucracy. However, this book illustrates that it is not enough just to scale-up NGO initiatives. Instead, a radical departure in approach is essential if NGOs are to make an impact and remain relevant. This book will be of interest to professionals in the fields of education, gender studies, sociology, policy and planning, aid and development agencies, the voluntary sector, and teacher training institutes. |
