Recovering the Frontier State: War, Ethnicity, and the State in Afghanistan



Recovering the Frontier State: War, Ethnicity, and the State in Afghanistan
Rasul Bakhsh Rais | 2008-03-20 00:00:00 | Lexington Books | 252 | Afghanistan
The book explores how legacies of internal strife and foreign invasions have altered the balance of social and political forces that provided some measure of stability to Afghanistan. The country faces structural constraints in the way of reviving itself owing to ethnic fragmentation, Taliban insurgency, and shallow social roots of political power. The central argument is that Afghanistan needs positive international engagement to find a new balance among its fractious social groups and build effective state and nationhood.
