This book offers a comprehensive collection of scholarly articles that delve into Nepal's internal and external political dynamics, as well as its broader regional context. It begins by exploring the root causes of Nepal's 10-year Maoist insurgency, analysing why the peace process remains stalled and what steps can be taken to resolve it. The role of Nepal's political parties and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in achieving sustainable peace is another focus of the book. Furthermore, the book examines Nepal's strategic relationships with India, China, and Australia, shedding light on the country's geopolitical positioning amidst regional power struggles. The ongoing political crisis in Bangladesh is also analysed, focusing on the lessons it offers to other small states like Nepal in the region. In addition, the book discusses Nepal's approach to achieving its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its foreign policy strategies as a small state navigating the complexities of international relations.
