The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September
11, 2001 instantly focused international attention on Afghanistan.
Suddenly, we were confronted with the need to understand how and
why social and political circumstances in that country could be
diametrically opposed to the values and norms commonly associated
with modern states and civil society.
This volume explores the question of whether Afghanistan is a
country without a state. It includes contributions from twenty of
the world's most distinguished experts on Afghanistan. Among the
topics covered are the scope of humanitarian aid, the oppression of
women, the logic of a war economy, and the potential for peace.
Written and published prior to Afghanistan's liberation by U.S.
forces, it nonetheless provides important background to
Afganistan's past and future.
