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.
