Nepal: New Frontiers of Restru...

Description

The restructuring of state implies many things to many people but it has been conceptualized differently in the book in the context of the new Nepal. The agenda set by the Jan Andolan Second (2006) has taken Nepali politics much ahead both in quality and form. The old institutions are likely to be replaced by new ones and the meaning of democracy is redefined relating it to the empowerment of people. A few other South Asian scholars have added significance to the book by contributing papers to their specific domestic areas. The tumultuous changes under way in Nepal can thus be seen in larger canvas of South Asia too.
