Nepal-Nation-State in the Wilderness : Managing State, Democracy and Geopolitics

About this book

Year 2006: Monarchy, the traditional seat of power in the Himalayan state of Nepal, comes to an end. What follows is a transition to becoming a federal republic. However, the new political environment ailing from inter-and intra-party conflicts, the Maoist party's lack of ideological clarity, and rampant corruption fail to improve the condition of the people. Politically, Nepal is volatile-internationally, it is increasingly being isolated.
