IIDS is planning to publish a book with 13 chapters that will encompass the entire gamut of the federal and provincial elections held in November 2022. The chapters are framed around themes pertinent to the recent elections. Each chapter will be authored (or co-authored) by well-known Nepali scholars and academics. Some chapters will be written in conjunction with graduate level interns of IIDS. The word limit for each will be 8500 to 10,000 words. Mr. Bhojraj Pokharel, former Chief Election Commissioner of Nepal will convene this book project. The Centre for Governance at IIDS will work as the editorial team for the book project. To add academic value and rigor to the book, IIDS intends to conduct a rigorous peer review of each chapter.
The initial meeting will include a discussion between all the authors of the book, the convener, Mr. Bhojraj Pokharel (Former Election Commissioner) and the IIDS team.
