It makes a critical assessment of the performance of President Hamid Karzai and his government, and the efforts made by the international community, the US and its NATO and non-NATO allies in particular, to stabilise, rebuild and secure Afghanistan as a viable state. In addition, it examines critically the role played by Australia in the conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n The conclusions are far-reaching, with relevance to anyone interested in the interconnectedness of many contemporary issues-governance, democratisation, development, the role of the media, and counterinsurgency.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Islamic Studies Series - Volume 8","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47241999122590,"sku":"HPC-9780522860788","price":54.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780522860788.jpg?v=1780361037","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780522860788","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
