520			_aNepal’s new government, headed by Prime Minister Balendra Shah of the Rastriya Swatantra Party, has promised to transform its polity and economy in a radical manner. The initial moves of the government are both reassuring and debatable. The new leadership faces a number of challenges not only related to understanding and cadre that is educated, young, and self-confident, but also lacks political and administrative experience. To add to this is the chronic bureaucratic lethargy and strong resistance from the vested interests in Nepal. No less significant challenge for the leadership is to manage the foreign policy of a strategically located country, caught between both regional and global rivalries. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/18/commentary/new-nepal.html
