The Evolution of Federalism in Nepal: Challenges and Opportunities
Nepal's transition to a federal democratic republic represents one of the most significant political transformations in its modern history. The 2015 constitution established seven provinces with devolved powers, aiming to address historical marginalization and promote inclusive development.

Meanwhile, federalism has created new spaces for local leadership and community participation.
This analysis examines Nepal's federal journey, evaluates progress in decentralization, and discusses how federal structures are reshaping governance, identity politics, and development approaches in the Himalayan nation.
