On Instability Renowned Nepalese
journalist M.R. Josse explains the political stalemate of Nepal By A CORRESPPONDENT At a time when the country has been passing through unending phases of confusion and uncertainty, Josse, former chief editor of The Rising Nepal and former deputy permanent representative to the United Nations has come out with a book analyzing causes behind the present political deadlock. Consultant editor of the People's Review weekly, Josse is also a regular contributor to other Nepalese journals. Although his book is small, it attempts to explain the internal and external dimensions behind the insurgency and factors leading to the event of October 4, 2002 when King Gyanendra relieved Sher Bahadur Deuba of his prime ministership and assumed all executive power. Divided into various topics, Josse examines the political developments emerging in various fronts. In his first chapter, Josse discusses the background behind the intervention by the King and formation of Chand government. He also observes the international responses to the event. In his second topic, Josse goes on length describing the Maoist Insurrection and general backdrops including death and destructions. He also studies the role of other countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, China and India. Based on his own analysis and events covered by different newspapers, Josse tries to explain Maoists' stance vis-a-vis external powers and politics of frustration. Nepal: Politics of Stalemate,
