Contours of Change in Nepal, an English-language book by author and political analyst Tika Dhakal, is set to hit the market next week. Published by Alchemy Publications, the book sheds light on Nepal’s recent political transformations, with the subtitle Power, Politics, and Paradox.
The book delves into key events surrounding Nepal’s constitution-making process, the geopolitical implications of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), Nepal-India relations, transitional justice, and regional diplomacy. Dhakal highlights the ideological shift in Nepal-India ties following Narendra Modi’s rise, calling it the "Gujral Movement effect." He also examines how the 2015 earthquake influenced constitution-drafting and post-disaster cooperation.
With 18 chapters, the work combines previously published articles with new analyses. Dhakal, a PhD in Political Science and former advisor to President Bidya Devi Bhandari, argues that the book offers valuable insights for scholars of Nepal’s contemporary history.
The book offers a penetrating analysis of Nepal's political paradoxes, from constitutional amendment battles to evolving global perceptions. This book is a must-read for those tracking Nepal’s evolving political landscape.
