This book analyses the problematique of governance and
administration of cultural diversity within the modern state of
Afghanistan and traces patterns of national integration. It
explores state construction in twentieth-century Afghanistan and
Afghan nationalism, and explains the shifts in the state's policies
and societal responses to different forms of governance of cultural
diversity. The book problematizes liberalism, communitarianism, and
multiculturalism as approaches to governance of diversity within
the nation-state. It suggests that while the western models of
multiculturalism have recognized the need to accommodate different
cultures, they failed to engage with them through intercultural
dialogue. It also elaborates the challenge of intra-group diversity
and the problem of accommodating individual choice and freedom
while recognising group rights and adoption of multiculturalism.
The book develops an alternative approach through synthesising
critical multiculturalism and interculturalism as a framework on a
democratic and inclusive approach to governance of diversity. A
major intervention in understanding a war-torn country through an
insider account, this book will be of great interest to scholars
and researchers of politics and international relations, especially
those concerned with multiculturalism, state-building, nationalism,
and liberalism, as well as those in cultural studies, history,
Afghanistan studies, South Asian studies, Middle East studies,
minority studies, and to policymakers.
