ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the reforming of security sector governance as a peacebuilding agenda and compares the outcomes of the engagement of an established power and emerging powers in a post-war country. It assesses the trends of their interactions at field levels and the implications for the host country's recovery process. The chapter aims to compare the drivers and nature of the engagement of established and emerging actors. This comparison helps us understand how rising and great powers cooperate or contest and to what political effects. It also helps explain three dimensions: the implications of the interactions between rising powers themselves and between them and a great power, the emerging trends in peacebuilding and security, and immediate and long-term consequences in Nepal's peacebuilding and post-war recovery. The chapter discusses how the interconnection between security and post-war development evolved. It also presents an overview on the key concepts discussed in this book.
