| Description: |
A path breaking examination of the potentials and problems of nation building, with historical context and a focus on Afghanistan. |
| Synopsis: |
The interaction of failed states, terrorism, and the need for "nation building" is at the top of the international agenda, with particular focus on Afghanistan and Iraq. This pathbreaking collection brings together top analysts to examine the goals and challenges facing efforts to reconstruct states that have collapsed into anarchy or have been defeated in war, drawing lessons from fifty years of past experience with post-conflict reconstruction and development around the world to assess development plans in a country devastated by more than a century of conflict. While the focus is on Afghanistan, important comparisons - including to reconstruction after the American Civil War - provide historical context and lessons of difficulties to overcome and realistic limitations of ambitions. Throughout, particular attention is paid to the interaction of the goals of external and domestic actors, highlighting the importance of understanding the internal social, economic, and political environment of the society receiving assistance. |
