Overview

Conflict, Peace and Human Security in South Asia explores the region’s complex socio-political landscape through nine insightful chapters by di­verse scholars. From Nepal’s shifting political dynamics and the rise of communism to gender inclusion in post-conflict governance, the volume addresses urgent questions of justice, empowerment, and democratic stability. It examines legal reforms for crime victims, the ethical underpinnings of historical legal texts like the Muluki Ain, and the challenges posed by fragmented social unions in capitalist contexts. The book also discusses the plight of Bhutanese asylum seekers in Nepal and analyzes China’s expand­ing role in South Asia – particularly its impact on Nepal-U.S. relations. This interdisciplinary volume offers fresh perspectives on the inter­sections of conflict, peacebuilding, and human security. A timely resource for scholars, policymakers, and students, it sheds light on the region’s evolving challenges and the pathways toward more inclusive governance and sustainable peace.
