AcknowledgementThe Asian Study Center for Peace and Conflict Transformation(ASPECT) would like to express its gratitude to the Geneva Centrefor Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF) and the Embassyof India to Nepal for their support and partnership to bring this bookto life. The original idea of the book came about in an earnestconversation with Dr Philipp Fluri, Deputy Director of DCAF, on thesituation and future of Nepal. Without our exchange and his continuousencouragement, this book would not have been born. His ExcellencyAmbassador Rakesh Sood and Ms Apoorva Srivastava, FirstSecretary, Press, Information and Culture of the Indian Embassy toNepal, have immediately recognised the importance of this bookproject, and granted abounteous support. Again, without thesesupport, ASPECT could not have delivered this book to the readers.ASPECT has also received support and cooperation from ManoharPrasad Bhattarai, Secretary General of Constituent Assembly and histeam,and the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction, particularly JointSecretaries Sadhu Ram Sapkota and Durga Nidhi Sharma. We aregrateful to the support lent to us by them.Equal thanks and appreciation go to Raju Shakya of UNDP Nepal atthe Centre for Constitutional Dialogue (CCD) for providing and sharingsome documents with ASPECT. Obtaining copies of some historicaland official agreements has been more challenging than we expected,despite their being public documents. Mr Shakya has kindly sharedsome materials with us, which made possible the early delivery ofthis project.Finally, this project was materialised by an amazing and dedicatedteam composed of Prawash Gautam, Pradnya Talekar, both ASPECTResearch Associates, and Anil Shrestha from PagePerfect and histeam. With their meticulous hard work, going over the texts againand again, now one part of Nepalese history is recorded as a book.Izumi WakugawaTechnical Advisor, ASPECTvi
