商品描述
This book provides essential insights into Bhutan's developmental challenges. It analyzes and scrutinizes the sovereign state's developmental approach, including the idea of Gross National Happiness (GNH), which has replaced Gross National Product (GNP) as a measurement of prosperity. The authors also explore and deconstruct ideational and cultural aspects of knowledge production and present a critical overall assessment of the political economy of education policy, health, ICT and migration in Bhutan. The book is divided into five parts all taking a critical approach towards inequality: Part one offers an assessment of Bhutan's developmental trajectories; part two deals with GNH, equality and inclusion versus exclusion; part three is devoted to culture, legal issues and the politics of change; and part four to governance and integration; section five addresses health, food and disparities. This book will appeal to all scholars of South Asian affairs and development studies, as well as to diplomats and professionals involved in development aid.

本書提供了對不丹發展挑戰的基本見解。它分析並審視了這個主權國家的發展方法，包括取代國民生產總值（GNP）作為繁榮衡量標準的國民幸福總值（GNH）概念。作者還探討並解構了知識生產的觀念和文化方面，並對不丹的教育政策、健康、資訊通信技術（ICT）和移民的政治經濟進行了全面的批判性評估。本書分為五個部分，均以批判的方式探討不平等問題：第一部分評估不丹的發展軌跡；第二部分探討GNH、平等與包容對抗排斥；第三部分專注於文化、法律問題和變革的政治；第四部分則關注治理與整合；第五部分則涉及健康、食品和差異。本書將吸引所有南亞事務和發展研究的學者，以及參與發展援助的外交官和專業人士。
