Abstract

Nepal was declared a Federal Democratic Republic following the mass movement of 2006 and was institutionalized by the Constitution of Nepal promulgated through Constitutional Assembly (CA) in 2015. It was a dream of people to draft their constitution from the CA since 1951 and to have a responsible and good government. Over the decades, different democratic movements of Nepal had a strong sentiment for good governance in Nepal. However, Nepal faced different problems and issues embedded with good governance. Given this fact, the main objective of this chapter is to explore democratic movements and the practice of good governance in Nepal. It also tries to analyze the role of political movements for democracy, and the relation between democracy and good governance. Democracy and good governance are closely related to one another. Democratic movements in Nepal started from the period of autocratic Rana regime back in the 1940s. Many democratic movements and revolutions held during different periods in the modern political history of Nepal have paved foundation for the establishment of federal democratic republic. However, there were different barriers in democratic movements and the implementation of good governance amid different types of prevailing malfunctions.
