The contemporary political history of Nepal is best characterized as the struggle for democracy. During the last more than five decades the sustenance of democracy has been a major issue of the Nepali politics. Why democracy has failed in Nepal. What are the problems challenges and prospects of democracy in that country. These are highly significant issues of the Nepali politics today. In fact the Nepali politics is passing through a critical phase. The people are aspiring for a new phase of democracy and the leadership is passing through a testing time. The joining of Maoists the political mainstream is a remarkable achievement. It is now for the democratic leadership of Nepal to utilize this opportunity to lay down a strong foundation of democracy stability and peace in the country. The present study largely focuses on these and other such issues relating to the problems and prospects of democracy in Nepal. It provides an in depth analysis of the post April 2006 political developments in Nepal and also an analysis of the events leading to the promulgation of the interim constitution and the Maoists joining the interim government. 192 pp.

Globalisation which has dominated the Post Cold War International Order is a comprehensive process with its wide ranging implications for most of the countries of the world today. As a concept globalisation is still debatable largely because of the complexities of this phenomenon. Whether globalisation has to be viewed in terms of its historical continuity or as an exclusively post Cold War process in difficult to ascertain. It is also confusing whether globalisation is an economic process or a socio political process or a complex of all. Despite all encompassing confusions and complexities globalisation has become an inescapable reality particularly for the countries of the developing world because of their own internal socio economic and political complexities. Like many developing countries the South Asian states have tried to respond to the process of globalisation. Whether it is possible to draw certain parallels in this regard is an important question. Globalisation has both positive and negative connotations. To what extent South Asian countries are capable to take advantage of the positive aspects and avoid the negative impacts. Is it possible to find out an alternative to globalisation. To what extent South Asian states are capable in forgoing an equilibrium between different dimensions of globalisation. These are some important issues of enquiry in the context of process of globalisation and nation states. The present volume includes studies focusing on the responses capacities and capabilities of South Asian countries vis a vis globalisation. The studies focusing both on the region as a whole and the individual countries are included here to examine the above raised issues. 190 pp.

What are the problems and prospects of SAFTA. The issues relating to regional stability and peace are equally important in the context of consolidation of regional cooperation in South Asia. The problem of terrorism India Pakistan tangle inter state conflicts etc. have proved to be major obstacles to the progress of SAARC. What can be the remedies to these and other such problems. These are some of the issues that have been analyzed in depth in this volume. The book will be useful to students scholars and the common readers. 254 pp.

Misra. Democracy as a system of governance is widely acknowledged and well established phenomenon all over the world. Though complex yet it remains flexible debatable as well as critical at times. The growth of democracy is not uniform in all the parts of the world. However the mere establishment of democracy is not sufficient. It has to be nurtured sustained and institutionalized which is possible if there is distributive justice social equality economic growth civic culture along with good government. State is an important institution as it creates necessary conditions for the growth and sustenance of democracy. However with the end of cold war and emergence of globalization there is greater emphasis on democracy all over the world. Globalization has not only posed challenges of varied nature before the state and growth of democracy but it has generated pressures and created requirements of its own kind before the nation states. South Asian region does not remain unaffected with the global developments. However the historical circumstances proved decisive not only to the fate of the nation states but to the growth of democracy as well. The urge of modernization shared borders weak territorial base overlapping ethnicity weak governance has frequently exploded into wars and interventions in these countries. Thus challenges to and conflict between state and democracy is not only wide in South Asia but has left a deep impact on the fate of democracy in the region. This kind of scenario calls for a comprehensive discussion of the nature and dimensions of state and democracy in South Asia. 202 pp.
