"This excellent book develops a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the situation of the Afghan people as they face current and emerging threats to their security. The authors bring both an intimate understanding of the complex social structures relevant in Afghanistan and empirical evidence of the causes and consequences of human insecurity in the country. Highly relevant reading for both practitioners and policy makers, especially those working within the United Nations system." --Annalies Borrel, United Nations Children's Fund
Review
"A welcome contribution on what is needed between the international community and the Afghan population: renewed trust. This book highlights how stable livelihoods, human and women's rights, just governance, civil society development, security sector development and reform, and the establishment of a credible judiciary accessible to all are critical to Afghanistan's future. The authors help us better understand how enhancing the human security of Afghans sets the framework for reconstructing peace, dignity, and hope."
