Development was always going to be a problem in Nepal, but few predicted the precipitous collapse of the state in rural areas in the face of the Maoist insurgency beginning in 1996 due, to a large extent, to the failure of the state to deliver promised development and benefits; instead, it became more and more authoritarian, even oppressive. Exploring the complex relationship between a modernizing, developmentalist state and the people it professes to represent, these fascinating and readable accounts of ordinary people's lives depict the various contexts out of which the Maoist insurgency grew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"All of the chapters are valuable and insightful and several have genuinely new things to say…the book is an extremely important and valuable contribution to the literature on Nepal.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  JRAI\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Tables\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Plates and Maps\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction: \u003c\/strong\u003eTransformations of the Nepalese State\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eDavid N.
