商品簡介
Mostly European social scientists specializing in Nepal examine the formation of the state and resistance to it by local activists, ethnic groups, and the Maoist insurgency. All but one of the 10 chapters are revised from presentations at a South Asian studies conference in Edinburgh in September 2000. For the 2002 first edition, they were updated in early 2001, before the declaration of a State of Emergency in November 2001, and few changes beyond expanded bibliographies are introduced here.
