History General

Nepal's political history is one of the most dramatic in Asia — royal assassinations, Maoist insurgency, constitutional crises, and the birth of a federal republic in fewer than 30 years. Our politics section covers democratic theory applied to Nepal, party histories, the Maoist conflict (2nd People's War), peace process and transition, federalism and identity politics, electoral studies, and biographies of key political figures from BP Koirala to Prachanda.
