Policing is not a popular topic of serious scholarly research.
Although a vast literature on policing exists, it is mostly
technical in nature and only rarely analytical. Even the police
forces of Western Europe and North America have rarely been
investigated in depth as far as their history and functioning goes.
In particular, the politics of policing, its political economy,
have been largely neglected. This book is a rare in-depth study of
a police force in a developing country which is also undergoing a
bitter internal conflict, further to the post-2001 external
intervention in Afghanistan. Policing Afghanistan discusses the
evolution of the country's police through its various stages but
focuses in particular on the last decade. The authors review the
ongoing debates over the future shape of Afghanistan's police, but
seek primarily to analyse the way Afghanistan is policed relative
to its existing social, political and international constraints.
Giustozzi and Isaqzadeh have observed the development of the police
force from its early stages, starting from what was a rudimentary,
militia-based, police force prior to 2001. This is a book about how
the police really work in such a difficult environment, the nuts
and bolts approach, based on first hand research, as opposed to a
description of how the Afghan police are institutionally organised
and regulated.
