Post-War Instability and Human Security in Nepal (Nepal and Himalayan Studies)

This book studies post-war instability in Nepal and its effect on human security. It looks at Nepal’s Maoist People’s War, the Nepali peace-building process, and political development in Nepal. Drawing on in-depth interviews, the book discusses multiple issues of the peace-building process, including education, health, economics, income, gender inequality, human rights, and the sociopolitical inclusion of marginal people and backward communities. The author also explores the relationship between peace-building and the broader concept of freedom, examining factors that affect Nepali determination. The book will be useful for students and researchers of politics, peace and conflict studies, sociology, development studies, strategic and security studies, contemporary history, international relations, Nepal studies, and South Asian studies.
