About The Book

Political Economy of Social Change and Development in Nepal is an accessible contemporary political economic analysis of social change in Nepal. It considers whether and how Nepal's political economy might have been transformed since the 1950s while situating these changes in Nepal's modern history and its location in the global economic system. It assembles and builds on the scholarship on Nepal from a multidisciplinary and synoptic perspective. Focusing on local discourses, experiences and expectations of transformations, it draws our attention to how powerful historical processes are experienced and negotiated in Nepal and assess how these may, at the same time, produce ideas of equality, human rights and citizenship while also generating new forms of precarity.

Book Review

Based on over 15 years of research, and drawing on all of the key studies of Nepali society and economy published over a similar period, Jeevan Sharma's book is a deeply insightful analysis of Nepal's complex transformation which transcends disciplinary boundaries. He describes a country which is now deeply penetrated by the ideas and material aspects of development, market and modernity, where all of the basic indicators of sustainable development have taken a sharp upward trend, but whose people face the 'stubborn continuities' of socioeconomic inequity and poor governance, obliging many of them to seek financial relief as migrant labourers on terms of unfreedom and precarity. Sharma offers us the most integrative, synoptic and interdisciplinary account of these changes and paradoxes published to date, and his book will, therefore, be an essential reading for anyone interested in modern and contemporary Nepal. Its critical use of Karl Polanyi's model of The Great Transformation will also be of great interest to readers concerned with the extent to which theoretical models developed in a Euro-American context are helpful for understanding social, political and economic transformations in the contemporary global South. -Michael Hutt

The causes and consequences of the mammoth changes that have roiled Nepali polity and society in the recent years has been a story waiting to be told, and that is what Political Economy of Social Change and Development in Nepal has managed to do. Unlike other impressionistic accounts, Jeevan Sharma marshals empirical facts he himself had gathered over the years in support of his argument. The result is this highly readable account of 'the great transformation', as he calls it, that has yet to come full circle but the outcome of which is there for all to see and understand through the eyes of a scholar grounded firmly in the reality of his home country. -Deepak Thapa
