Political conflict and migration: How has violence and political instability affected migration patterns in Nepal?

This paper is a study of migration during a period of violent political conflict in Nepal. Past studies of conflict-induced migration have generally treated conflict as a homogenous event and focused largely on the violent aspects of conflict. In this study, we examine how specific political and violent events, as well as the general context of conflict, affect migration on a monthly basis.
