Security, Development, and Violence in Afghanistan provides a
unique insight into the lived realities of the international
intervention in Afghanistan and highlights the diversity,
relationships, and interdependence of various groups including both
external actors and Afghan communities. Analysis of the
international intervention in Afghanistan following the post 9/11
invasion in 2001, one of the largest and most expensive in history,
tends to focus on the perspective of organisational dynamics and
policies or external actors. Drawing on the author's five years of
experience living, researching and working in Afghanistan, this
book uses ethnographic methodologies to explore the micro-level
interactions between different actors, showing how communities,
local leaders, aid workers, UN officials, military and others
navigated shifting security, development, and conflict dynamics.
Starting with a contextual introduction to the intervention and the
key debates surrounding it, this book goes on to explore the
stories of security, development, and violence as constructed
through official policy discourse, and then through the lived
experiences of interveners and local actors. The book weaves a
compelling narrative which links local and global issues and
focuses on the everyday practices, relationships and acts of
resistance which take place in two provinces of Afghanistan.
Finally, the author highlights what this book's findings mean both
for what we know about Afghanistan and for how we understand
international interventions and the everyday dynamics between
actors who live and work in spaces of conflict. Security,
Development, and Violence in Afghanistan: Everyday Stories of
Intervention will be of considerable interest to scholars and
professionals with an interest in Afghanistan, aid work,
humanitarian intervention, development studies, and peace and
conflict studies.
