A Study on the Constitutional History of Nepal

本研究的目的是探讨尼泊尔的宪政史。第二次世界大战后，尼泊尔颁布了一些宪法，并试图建立君主立宪制，但至少到1990年，她的努力几乎没有成功。首先，尼泊尔是最不发达国家之一。她不具备民主化所必需的经济和社会条件。其次，尼泊尔虽然是一个小王国，但有30多个民族。这让她的国家融合变得困难。第三，尼泊尔是一个内陆国家。它阻碍了民主化。然而，20世纪80年代末的世界民主化浪潮冲刷着尼泊尔，摧毁了她的旧政权（1990年革命），并带来了1990年宪法。《宪法》使政党和议会民主合法化。尼泊尔人民目前正在努力在实践中实施这一宪法，本研究遵循尼泊尔宪法的历史，特别侧重于其君主制。此外，还考察了政党的宪政理念。为进一步的研究做了参考文献。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the constitutional history of Nepal. After World War II,Nepal enacted some constitutions and tried to establish constitutional monarchy, but her effort was hardly successful at least up to 1990. First, Nepal is one of the least developed countries. She did not have necessary economic and social conditions for democratization. Second, Nepal, though a small kingdom, has more than 30 ethnic groups. It made her national integration difficult. Third, Nepal is a land locked country. It hindered her democratization. However, the tide of the worldwide democratization in the late 1980s washed Nepal, destroyed her ancien regime (the Revolution in 1990) and brought about the Constitution, 1990. The Constitution has legalized political parties and parliamentary democracy. The Nepalese people are now struggling to implement it in practice.This study followed the history of the Nepalese constitutions, focusing especially on their monarchy systems. The constitutional ideas of political parties are also examined. A bibliography is made for the further study.
