Contents:
Calm before the storm: Nowroz 1978 -- Coups, wars, droughts and economic collapse: 1978-2001 -- US Military intervention and an ambitious transition to peace -- The Afghan economy a decade past 9/11: insecurity, underinvestment, and aid dependency.
Summary: This volume offers an easily readable and well-informed discussion of the inter-linked political and economic dimensions of peacebuilding in Afghanistan since 9/11. It draws on lessons from the country's historical past as well as from those from other war-torn countries to show how misguided and costly the international community's policies and assistance has been to the country. The author recommends ways in which the country could move away from the vicious circle of insecurity, unsustainable growth, and aid, food and import dependency to a virtuous one of inclusive and sustainable growth, increased security and national reconciliation.
