Book Description
Nation-Building and Federalism in Nepal primarily deals with the presentation and elucidation of identity-based federalism, a unique concept and a novel form of federalism. The most notable source of first-hand information was garnered through the author's involvement in constitution-making by proxy, as a member of the High-Level State Restructuring Recommendation Commission and as a facilitator of several interaction programmes conducted in dialogue form: that is, dialogues with citizens, stakeholders, members of the Constituent Assembly, office-bearers within political parties (intra-party), and leaders across the parties (inter-party). This book, therefore, discusses these issues and helps provide insights into the politics behind the parties' shifting positions on contentious issues related to the constitution at the time of its making; understand better the conflicting aspirations from and competing perceptions of restructuring the Nepali state among the people from different ethnic backgrounds; and capture the role played by intermediate agencies at a critical time of its constitution-making (2006-2015).

Author: Surendra Bhandari
Publisher: Springer Science & Business
ISBN: 9812870059
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This book systematically analyzes why constitutions do not survive in Nepal, despite sixty years of constitutional history. The author discusses the epistemology of ethnic federalism in Nepal and examines the challenges of nation building and post-nation constitutionalism. The work addresses the connection between ethnic identity, right to self-determination, constitution making and state restructuring, offering possible ways forward for Nepal. Chapters consider lessons to be drawn from the past and examine reasons for the abolition of monarchy in Nepal. The book highlights the major problems that the first elected Constituent Assembly (CA) faced in promulgating a new constitution, before it was dissolved in 2012. The concept of right to self-determination and its complexities at the domestic level are all explored, along with ways forward to address the problem of constitutionalism, ethnic federalism and democracy. The author offers solutions as to how the second CA could address problems to promulgate a new constitution. The book elaborates on the role that constitutionalism plays in constitution making and the survival of a constitution. Scholars of politics and international studies, policy makers and those with an interest in law and constitution in Asia will all find this work of interest.

Nepal
Author: Lok Raj Baral
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788187392859
Category : Democratization
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book 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 from. 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 contribution papers to their specific domestic areas. The tumultuous changes under way in Nepal can thus be seen in larger canvas of South Asia too.
