Resistance and the state : Nepalese experiences / edited by David Gellner - rev ed. - London : Berghahn Books, 2007 - xv, 383 p.

Papers originally presented at a day-long panel during the Modern South Asian studies conference in Edinburgh in September 2000. The papers cover different aspects of the collapse of the state in Nepal which became increasingly authoritarian and repressive at the same time as the Maoist insurgency was gathering momentum. Social, political and historical contexts are all considered in this collection.
