A
Today,Bhutan's status in the world of geopolitics may be considered insignificant apart from being strategically located between two emerging superpowers, India and China.In a world that is ruled by economic interests and power play,Bhutan's fledgling (新兴的) economy gathers hardly enough attention.However,Bhutan is not an isolated place but a part of the world,and the problems of the world seem to be general.In this respect,Bhutan has positioned itself in a much better light than many developing countries.Its political stability,the historic and peaceful transition from the monarchy (君主制) to democracy,the unique development philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH) and its history of cultural isolationism and survival are significant characters that have excited the interest of the world.
In many ways,Bhutan is better placed than most countries in terms of clean air,fresh water, abundant forest cover, and above all, hydropower. Although Bhutan is a carbon negative country,we have not been spared from the effects of global climate change. The snow-covered glacial mountains of Bhutan have begun to look bare and exposed for the first time in our history.
In this regard,Bhutan is asking itself the question that everyone must ask: how can economic growth be combined with environmental sustainability—a question that it has answered in part through a massive effort to protect the country's vast forest cover and its unique biodiversity. Bhutan is asking how it can preserve its traditional society and foster its unique cultural heritage.And,it is also asking how individuals can maintain their psychological stability in an era of rapid change,marked by urbanization and a fierce attack of global communication in a society that had no television until little more than a decade ago.
