Globalisation in Nepal: Theory and Practice is an insightful scholarly lecture that examines how globalization shapes everyday life in Nepal—not just through economic change, but through lived social and cultural experiences. Authored by noted anthropologist James F. Fisher, the book was first presented as the 2011 Mahesh Chandra Regmi Lecture and later published by Social Science Baha.
Rather than analyzing globalization purely in economic or political terms, Fisher shifts the focus to practice—how people adapt, transform, or resist global influences in their daily lives. Through three distinct case studies—Sherpa communities in Solukhumbu, Kaike-speaking Magars in Dolpa, and political leader Tanka Prasad Acharya—the book reveals how globalization operates subtly but powerfully in diverse corners of Nepal.
