Abstract
This chapter argues that it can be instructive to compare sociopolitical developments in Bhutan with those in its close neighbour, Nepal, over the past three or four decades, and draws a number of parallels between them. It also argues for a more complex and nuanced approach to contemporary Bhutanese affairs on the part of foreign scholars.
