This book explores the what, the why, and the how of the Taliban
takeover of Afghanistan almost 20 years after their removal from
power. It examines how the U.S. discourses on War on Terror and
state-building in Afghanistan have taken shape, became dominant
over the past two decades, and to delineate their consequences.
Also, it highlights how both discourses are representative of wider
depoliticization of the society and eventually paved the way for
the illiberal, oppressive politics of confinement and
necropolitics. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and
researchers of politics and international relations, U.S. foreign
policy, peace and conflict studies, area studies, especially West
Asian and South Asian studies.
