Brought by Alchemy Publications, the book, discusses a range of issues including the events surrounding the drafting of Nepal’s constitution, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact, Nepal-India relations, geopolitical dynamics, Nepal’s regional diplomacy, and various aspects of the transitional justice process, all of them contributing to form the recent contours of change in Nepal, Dhakal said.

In addition, a significant number of chapters are new and previously unpublished.
