Cabals and Cartels

From the Back cover: "This absorbing tale of Nepal's trials and tribulations in a challenging period is remarkable both for the depth of analysis and the breadth of its coverage. Focused on the country's dysfunctional transitional politics in relation to development and international aid, the book crafts a lucid story that reaches into critical aspects of Nepal's political economy to highlight a 'dark underbelly that continues to upset the hopes and promises of post-conflict transition." - Devendra Raj Pandey, Former Finance Minister and author of Nepal's Failed Development.
