Quatrième de couverture
Nepal, Zone of Peace
A Revised Concept for the Constitution
Can Nepal stand apart from the turbulence of the modern world and develop politically and economically by transforming itself into a Zone of Peace ? This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the question as neighboring Asian giants India and China make the region ever more important. The concept won widespread international support when it was first proposed in the 1970s by Nepal's King Birendra. The author concludes that the time is ripe to revive the idea in light of the country's domestic evolution, its international situation and the opportunities afforded by its social, political and geographic assets. She argues that enshrining the Zone of Peace in Nepal's Constitution can be a strong positive force for the country's future. The book, based on the author's doctoral thesis, was written during six working visits to Nepal.
