Nepal is passing through a critical phase of political transformation. Since the royal coup of 2005; the Maoist ceasefire and April 2006 movement for democracy to April 2008 Constitutional Assembly, the country has witnessed a number of complex phases of political developments.

The issues of framing a new constitution, federalism, inclusive democracy, minority rights, economic reforms, social reconstruction, etc. are significant after the formation of the Constituent Assembly.
