Encompassing insights from diverse perspectives and different theoretical viewpoints—most importantly, those of Afghan nationals—the chapters address complex issues, including the extent of global hegemonic power, the efficacy of nation-building strategies, the clash between modernization and cultural legacies, and the intricate task of establishing enduring institutions amid pervasive clientelist networks. The volume is divided into sections addressing a key aspect of the situation: state institutions and society; insecurity and corruption; social and economic development; women’s rights. Drawing crucial lessons from a turbulent past to inform and guide future endeavors towards a stable, prosperous Afghanistan, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students of Middle East politics, peace and conflict studies, security studies, development, history, and sociology. 0aPeace. 0aSecurity, International. 0aMiddle EastxPolitics and government.14aPeace and Conflict Studies.24aInternational Security Studies.24aMiddle Eastern Politics.1 aBerenguer López, Francisco José.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aCastien Maestro, Juan Ignacio.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303159407608iPrinted edition:z978303159409008iPrinted edition:z9783031594106 0aContributions to Security and Defence Studies,x2948-229140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-59408-3
