Nepalese political behaviour

This book contains the first comprehensive study of Nepalese voters. Sponsored by Danish Development Aid, it is based on hour-long interviews with one thousand Nepalese voters spread over the Himalayan kingdom . The survey was conducted immediately after the general election in May 1991, the first election to take place under the multiparty system which was introduced after the mass uprising in April 1990. The study registers the political attitudes prevailing in the Nepalese society, the voters´ perceptions of political problems, their evaluations of party differences, their participation in the election campaign and eventual partisan choice.
