This book offers an overview of the formation of the Afghan state
and of the politics, economic challenges and international
relations of contemporary Afghanistan. It opens with an account of
some of the key features that make Afghanistan unique and proceeds
to discuss how the Afghan state acquired a distinctive character as
a rentier state. In addition, the authors outline a complex range
of domestic and external factors that led to the breakdown of the
state, and how that breakdown gave rise to a set of challenges with
which Afghan political and social actors have been struggling to
deal since the 2001 international intervention that overthrew the
anti-modernist Taliban regime. It then presents the different types
of politics that Afghanistan has witnessed over the last two
decades; examines some of the most important features of the Afghan
economy; and demonstrates how Afghanistan's geopolitical location
and international relations more broadly have complicated the task
of promoting stability in the post-2001 period. It concludes with
some reflections on the factors that are likely to shape
Afghanistan's future trajectory and notes that if there are hopes
for a better future, they largely rest on the shoulders of a
globalised generation of younger Afghans. This book will be of
interest to students and scholars in the fields of Middle East and
Central Asian studies, international relations, politics,
development studies and history.
