"This volume provides a critical analysis of power and authority in Afghanistan, and how the conception and practice of these have shifted both historically and over the past twenty years. Contributors examine the deep colonial roots of ethnography, geography and anthropology, and assess the international intervention's influence on power and authority structures"--

As a result of a 20-year international military campaign, Afghanistan has been at the centre of global academic and policy debates on intervention and statebuilding. Yet these debates have often been piecemeal, ahistorical and centred in western logics, interests and concerns. This volume provides a new, critical compilation of scholarly contributions from emerging and established Afghan and international scholars that defy these trends.

The volume targets a new generation of students and scholars of Afghanistan– a generation looking critically and retrospectively at the longest military intervention in US history. This is a readership well-attuned to the complexities of the Afghan context and the dilemmas of international engagement more broadly. Beyond criticism of a failed intervention and the often reductive analytical tools that have been used to assess it, the chapters in this collection provide novel epistemological approaches to conceptions of power and authority in Afghanistan.

Breaking new ground, Power and Authority gives voice to and consolidates in one volume the first generation of influential Afghan scholars to emerge after forty years and offers them the opportunity to speak with (and back to) those who have come before.

Recenzijas

This important and timely text brings together a wide-range of authors to portray a complex and nuanced picture of the politics of Afghanistan: past and present. It is highly recommended for students of Afghanistan and politically-engaged audiences globally. -- Nivi Manchanda, Reader in International Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK Power and Authority brings together an outstanding array of emerging and eminent Afghanistan scholars at a critical historical moment. The book tackles the complexity and richness of Afghan politics from a variety of disciplinary angles, theoretical perspectives, and positionalities, forcing us to rethink and revise our own understandings of the past 20 years. A tour de force! * Romain Malejacq, Associate Professor, Radboud University, Netherlands, Author of Warlord Survival: The Delusion of State Building in Afghanistan * This volumes rich collection of chapters by leading Afghanistan scholars and an impressive new generation of Afghan and international researchers is a must read for anyone trying to better understand Afghanistans political history as well as some of the key factors contributing to the defeat of the United States in its longest war. The books insightful analyses of the nature and relationship of power and authority will also serve as a useful guide to understanding what likely lies ahead in Afghanistan. * Andrew Wilder, PhD, Vice President, Asia Center, United States Institute of Peace, USA *
