Protoplanetary discs (PPDs) are the progenitors of planets and represent the material available for their formation. Recent surveys indicate that exoplanetary architectures are diverse and the processes that govern the evolution of PPDs contribute significantly to the properties of these architectures. Most studies of PPDs consider their secular evolution, disregarding the influence of environment on the evolution and eventual dispersal of the disc. However, a growing body of empirical studies have found evidence that they are in fact influenced by their stellar neighbours. In this dissertation I focus primarily on two mechanisms by which discs evolving in close proximity to other stars might be truncated and dispersed by their neighbours. ...
