Prospects of Democracy in Nepal

The challenges that the country should face in the next years to accelerate and improve this democratization process are to ensure collective and individual rights for Indigenous people, a large group of people in the country, improve the judiciary system in cases of maladministration, allow and fund the political participation of independent candidates, professionalize the police forces, end rampant corruption in districts due to excessive powers of the authorities and drug cartels and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor by assuring balancing the salaries of public officials. These are ambitious goals but once the democratization process has been started it cannot be blocked especially if it is part of the national and international interest. Improving the transparency and public administration of a country increase its efficiency as well as its weight on the international community so the ability to make a difference when decisions are made at a global level, the goal that every country (not so) secretly

Since the dawn of mankind, there has always been a struggle for power, from our primitive ancestors to our present day, supposed, enlightened times. There have been a variety of systems that spawned and died in the political world. It can be assumed that the fruition of democracy emerged after the desire to create a system in which it was equal, sustainable, and transparent and where human rights was recognized. Robert Dahl, a prominent political scientist, had believed creating a democratic society in which he considered was perfect had to have (Dahl, 2000): effective participation, equal voting, enlightened understanding, an open agenda setting and inclusion (p.37-38) . In the present day, there are many countries that consider themselves

Problem Statement: After the earthquake in the early part of 2015 and the drafting of the new Nepali constitution and the later part of 2015 tensions are at an all time high in the nation of Nepal. Leading to protests, blockades and all around unrest in the populace.

The newly formed constitution of Nepal (2015) has recognized the health care services as basic rights of people and promised that government will provide the reproductive right, safe environmental right and free primary health care for every citizen in the country. Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) has launched a basic program to improve the health care services in Nepal. But for this plan the political vision of an inclusive society should be necessary. Thus, access to health care is now protected as a constitutional right for all. Many things are becoming bottlenecks to improve healthcare sector in Nepal such as poverty, corruption, and political instability. Public health institutions have yet to be proved as reliable health institutions for rural citizens. Recently there has been seen some positive signal too because the government has announced to cure some of the expensive diseases as free in some hospitals such kidney dialysis and transparent, cancer, heart and so forth.

Located 150km west of the capital of Nepal (Kathmandu), the Gorkha district of Nepal is home to 271,000 (2011) and covers an approximate area of 3,610 square kilometers (ncthakur, 2011). Figure 2 clearly shows the Gorkha district of Nepal.

Throughout the world, many contemporary issues occur in the world of Politics. Democracy is also involved with several contemporary issues. According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary (2014), the word democracy is defined as a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections (Page 215). Like in many political parties, democracy faces several political issues throughout time. Political issues are issues that involves with the government or politics. This includes issues related to party politics, political system, or social, environmental or other issues as determined by the voting public. In Eric Liu

Throughout time, many countries suffered from unjust governments and unfair treatment. Some of them had a huge impact on the rest of the world, and on the course of history. Many of them succeeded, while a few of them failed to do so. Each one had a different approach on how to achieve their goals. Some of them decided to approach it violently, and others took it peacefully. Here are just three prime examples of different approaches towards government or political reforms.

Political reform is often resulting in increased demands of oppressed and weaken state. New democracies tend to have security problems and questions of the democratic governance. The state must instill stability and social control; thus a weak state will fail. Democracy, however, can achieve peace by allocating power through elections, manage diversity without violence, and create political positions. State and nation-building, integration, and a development of a unified ideology can be a strategy to promote democratic consolidation.

Noting that multipartism isn’t conducive for the consolidation of democracy and that there are many regimes following the

He was also the leader of the Communist Party of China from 1981 to 1987. Hu Yaobang's rise to power was organized by Deng Xiaoping. In 1980 Hu became Party Secretary General, and was elected to the powerful Politburo Standing Committee (committee consisting of the top leadership of the CPC). In 1981, Hu became CPC Chairman, but helped abolish the position of Party chairman in 1982, as part of a larger attempt to distance China from Maoist politics (political theory derived from the teachings of the Chinese political leader Mao Zedong). By 1982, Hu was the second most powerful person in China, after

Democracy has become the most widespread political form of government during the past decade, after the fall of all its alternatives. During the second part of the 20th century, the 3 main enemies of democracy, namely communism, fascism and Nazism, lost most of their power and influence. However, democracy is still only to be found in less than half of this world's countries. China with a fifth of the total population "had never experienced a democratic government" and Russia still doesn't have a well established democracy. By adopting a democratic perspective, 3 types of governments emerge, non-democratic, new democracies, and old democracies, and all have a different challenge to overcome: either to become democratic, to "consolidate"

Since the initiation of the Third Wave of Democracy, several countries have attempted to form a democratic system of governs. We take note that not all have succeeded. At the dawn of this era, democracy was being applied to countries with no prior history of a governing body that was place by the people for the people hence success of such a system could not be guaranteed because of the innumerous variables that existed in each country. People being the highlighted factor of variance, it may become easier to understand how countries such as Pakistan and Nigeria, both countries prior to the Wave had no local governing machinery. Pakistan further endured a partition from India which resulted in not only an instant religious and

During elections in countries with corrupt governments, for example, it has to be decided whether the guarantee of every individual’s right to vote or who wins is more important. (Wong, Lecture, October 24) Moreover, deep divides continue to exist and separate groups in democratic countries by race, religion, language, and class, resulting in tension and, in some cases, oppression. Thus democracy, despite its emphasis on liberty, equality and plurality, can still be problematic.

Democracy and its critics is a political science book written by Robert Dahl In 1989 and published by Yale University Press in America. The book looks at the assumptions of the democratic theory and is able to test them in relation to the questions raised by critics. Thereafter, Dahl suggests the ways in which the states must move towards improving their democracy.

India is the biggest democracy in the world, with a government type of federal republic. The country’s form of government mimics the United States with its federal structure. The federal government consists of executive, legislative, and judicial branches. In addition, India has adopted the a British style parliamentary system that allows for it its central government to have great power in relation to its states, according to US Department of State- Background Notes website (The Office of Electronic
