KU all set to host international conference on federalism
Kathmandu University School of Law (KUSOL) is all set to host the “International Conference on Federalism, Devolution of Power, and Inclusive Democracy in Nepal and Asia.”
The conference, scheduled for November 22-23, 2023, will take place at the Malla Hotel in Lainchaur, Kathmandu.
Since the promulgation of Nepal’s new constitution in 2015, federalism has been a central constitutional political issue in the country. Its practical application began with the first general elections held in 2017.
According to Professor Bipin Adhikari, the convener of the Conference, the decision to organize this conference stems from the pressing need to address the challenges arising from the implementation of federalism over the past seven years.
Distinguished national and international experts and practitioners will actively participate in the conference, focusing on three pivotal themes: intergovernmental coordination and cooperation in federal systems, equitable distribution of fiscal and state resources, and inclusion in decentralized governance.
The School of Law, established in 2013, has been committed to providing high-quality interdisciplinary legal education in Nepal. As the conference convenes, it aims to critically examine Nepal’s federal arrangements outlined in the 2015 Constitution, identify implementation challenges, and propose viable solutions.
