Nepal’s Tryst With Destiny – L. Ibrahim

Nepal in the last half of the 20th century has witnessed an increasingly complex and dynamic mix of rising political, economic and social awareness and expectations, alongside societal disruption and increasingly disparate lifestyle conditions, punctuated by dramatic socio-cultural changes. In the midst of all this, the nation’s civil society and varieties of civic service, volunteerism and social action are thriving. The concept of national security is based around protecting the national unity, political independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of nation-states. Given its nature and the gravity of the terminology, national security is considered to be a sensitive and complex issue. Even security scholars have divergent and varied definitions of national security. Many scholars agree that there is no uniform opinion as to what ‘security’ means and that it is essentially a contested concept. Walter Lippmann, who gave one of the first recorded definitions, said that ‘a nation has security when it does not have to sacrifice its legitimate interest to avoid war and is able, if challenged, to maintain by war’. This book has been carefully edited and structured, to allow flexibility in use to match a variety of course needs and requirements and this makes it an essential reading for the students, teachers and researchers.
