| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Nepal is back to normal, but the transition to post-insurgency has brought social change. The end of the Maoist insurgency has signalled also the end of an era for the Nepalese royal family. In particular, the young and active element of the population has a more globally attuned expectation of their quality of life and right to self-determination. But significant obstacles to peace implementation remain. Resources are limited and cannot stretch to cover delays; intercommunal violance may be just over the horizon; and most crucially, the state has failed to recreate its monopoly of violence. If the government fails to impose order, then local factions may take power for themselves |
