Since emerging in 2006 from a ten-year Maoist insurgency, the
'People's War', Nepal has struggled with the difficult transition
from war to peace, from autocracy to democracy, and from an
exclusionary and centralized state to a more inclusive and federal
one. The present volume, drawing on both international and Nepali
scholars and leading practitioners, analyzes the context, dynamics
and key players shaping Nepal's ongoing peace process. While the
peace process is largely domestically driven, it has been
accompanied by wide-ranging international involvement, including
initiatives in peacemaking by NGOs, the United Nations and India,
which, throughout the process, wielded considerable political
influence; significant investments by international donors; and the
deployment of a Security Council-mandated UN field mission. This
book shines a light on the limits, opportunities and challenges of
international efforts to assist Nepal in its quest for peace and
stability and offers valuable lessons for similar endeavors
elsewhere.

The UN Security Council in the 21st Century provides a
comprehensive view of the council's internal dynamics, its role and
relevance in world politics, and its performance in addressing
today's major security challenges.
