First, the book investigates Nepal's processes of state formation and nation-building, centred on the institution of the Shah monarchy, Hinduism, and the Nepali language vis-à-vis Nepal's high degree of socio-cultural diversity. Second, it explores the difficulties in democratising Nepal's constitutional arrangements and entrenching the doctrine of popular sovereignty. This is reflected in the tensions between hereditary political power (the Shah monarchy and the Rana Prime Ministers) and representative political forces (political parties). Constitutionally, these tensions have resulted in the marginalisation of the legislature vis-à-vis the executive throughout the country's history, notwithstanding the fact that Nepal has always featured a parliamentary form of government. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLastly, the frequent changes in Nepal's fundamental law also reflect the profound influences of various foreign institutional models (in particular that of a 'modified' Westminster model) and their specific re-negotiation in the Nepali context, regardless of the fact that Nepal was never colonised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mara Malagodi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509947256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509947256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 1.00d","brand":"Mara Malagodi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48439527637247,"sku":"9781509947256","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fed6063a-87e5-4189-a56f-0e43ee8fdf10.jpg?v=1777178161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-constitutional-system-of-nepal-mara-malagodi-9781509947256","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
