By the middle of 2007, Afghans had become increasingly
disillusioned with a state-building process that had failed to
deliver the peace dividend that they were promised. For many
Afghans, the most noticeable change in their lives since the fall
of the Taliban has been an acute deterioration in security
conditions. Whether it is predatory warlords, the Taliban-led
insurgency, the burgeoning narcotics trade or general criminality,
the threats to the security and stability of Afghanistan are
manifold. The response to those threats, both in terms of the
international military intervention and the donor-supported process
to rebuild the security architecture of the Afghan state, known as
security-sector reform (SSR), has been largely insufficient to
address the task at hand. NATO has struggled to find the troops and
equipment it requires to complete its Afghan mission and the SSR
process, from its outset, has been severely under-resourced and
poorly directed. Compounding these problems, rampant corruption and
factionalism in the Afghan government, particularly in the security
institutions, have served as major impediments to reform and a
driver of insecurity. This paper charts the evolution of the
security environment in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban,
assessing both the causes of insecurity and the responses to them.
Through this analysis, it offers some suggestions on how to tackle
Afghanistan's growing security crisis.
