Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Nepal’s latest transition is a process that involves multiple layers of competing demands that make the restructuring of state a much contested process. This paper examines the dynamics that enabled Nepal’s democratic leaders to push back the royal onslaught and advance Nepal’s democratic transition process by reaching a historic agreement with the Maoist insurgents that ended the most bloody domestic conflict in Nepali history. The paper also evaluates the likely success of this dynamics in sustaining the troubled transition process. The paper focuses on two key variables to understand the trajectory of Nepal’s democratic transition: pro-democracy coalition of domestic political forces and their interaction with the regional and international actors. For students of democratic transition and consolidation, Nepali transition embodies both the troubles and triumphs of democratic transitions around the world. Nepal’s case is also distinctive in terms of the ability of the process to move forward amidst multiple layers of ideological, regional and inter-party conflicts. Nepal’s case assumes even greater contrast compared to regional states such Bangladesh and Pakistan where the democratic process has remained severely limited.
