4.9/5 (28066 ratings)

Description:This book examines the prospects for rebuilding state and nation in Afghanistan with regard to "Operation Enduring Freedom" carried out by the international coalition. It starts off by delineating the conceptual basis of Afghanistan's status as a frontierstate. Looking at geo-strategic aspects Afghanistan's position as an historical buffer between empires and its internal characteristics--weak authority structure, internal conflicts, interventions by neighbors, legitimacy of internal conquest, and trans-national ethnicities, the book provides insights into the unique geo-political context of Afghanistan. Whilst the author deems the legacy of the previous intervention for containment as a major contributing factor to the disorder in Afghanistan's state and society, he draws on lessons from the past intervention to assuage current obstacles and stalemate that is hindering political, social, and economic development in Afghanistan. Focusing on the impediments to development in Afghanistan, the backgroundagainst which the problem needs to be analyzed, and consequently countered, is effectively set out. Incessant war and insurgency has led to mobilization along ethnic and religious lines in Afghanistan and has had profound effects on the kinds of intuitions that have perpetuated over time. Ethnic and religious groups have applied constant pressure on the state and this dissonance has had enduring negative consequences on nation building, social cohesion, and state-society relationships.
