Abstract	• Amnesty International (AI) has dubbed Nepal as “Country at Risk” because it is hurtling towards a major crisis with the intensification of the conflict between the establishment and the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist). As a result, the Nepali state is going through a downward spiral in terms of democratic and development processes. • Political parties outside the helm of power are squeezed between the ongoing insurgency in the rural areas and an anti-democratic spiral in the capital city, Kathmandu, where the state power is centralized. It is clear that the establishment lacks an institutional capacity to effectively resolve the conflict. • Capitalizing on the weak security presence in rural areas, the rebels are forcing the Village Development Committee (VDC) secretaries, the only remaining representatives of the state in society, to resign en-masse. Public cynicism with the national institutions such as government, political parties, bureaucracy and courts runs intense due to their poor performance and abuse of authority. • The tendency of major actors the establishment, opposition parties and the rebels to distrust and oppose each other continues to perpetuate the political deadlock. The politics of deadlock has put a question mark on the ability of the leadership to lead the nation in difficult times and manage the clash of countervailing national and international forces. The media, civil society and human rights organizations are pro -actively engaging publicly in peace activism and democratization.
