How has the legacy of the Nepalese 1996-2006 People's War and transition to a federalist state shaped contemporary disaster risk governance arrangemen

尼泊尔正在努力应对1996-2006年人民战争带来的冲突后挑战。从中央集权专制国家到联邦民主国家的缓慢而不安的过渡已经主导了政治和治理超过二十年。在此背景下，正在制定灾害风险治理安排，如2019年国家减少和管理灾害风险局。使问题复杂化的是宪法中对联邦、省和地方各级灾害风险的过度责任的矛盾。灾害研究的规范性方法不可避免地回避了冲突后治理问题。本文将解决学术界的显着差距，揭示尼泊尔当代灾害风险治理安排的新见解。首要的研究问题是：尼泊尔1996-2006年人民战争和向联邦制国家过渡的历史如何塑造了当代灾害风险治理安排？分问题（a）1996-2006年人民战争期间如何管理灾害风险？（B）灾害事件在毛派叛乱和不断变化的冲突模式中发挥了什么作用？(c)尼泊尔向联邦制国家的过渡如何塑造了当代灾害风险治理安排，特别是管理局？本论文将在地理学的学科范围内进行原创性的混合方法分析，为灾害与冲突的交叉研究做出独特的贡献。

Nepal is grappling with post-conflict challenges deriving from the 1996-2006 People's War. The slow and uneasytransition from a centralised autocratic state to a federalised democracy has dominated politics and governance for overtwo decades. In this context, disaster risk governance arrangements are being formulated, such as the 2019 NationalDisaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority. Complicating matters are contradictions within the Constitution overresponsibility for disaster risk at federal, provincial and local levels. Normative approaches to disaster research routinelycircumvent post-conflict governance issues. This thesis will address notable gaps in scholarship to reveal novel insightsinto Nepal's contemporary disaster risk governance arrangements. The overarching research question is: How has thelegacy of the Nepalese 1996-2006 People's War and transition to a federalist state shaped contemporary disaster riskgovernance arrangements? Sub-questions (a) How was disaster risk managed during the 1996-2006 People's War? (b)What role did disaster events play in relation to the Maoist insurgency and changing patterns of conflict? (c) How hasNepal's transition to a federalised state shaped contemporary disaster risk governance arrangements, specifically theAuthority? Situated within geography discipline, this thesis will generate original mixed method analysis, presenting aunique contribution to scholarship on the intersection of disasters and conflict.
