Neo-liberal State-building and Displacement of the Afghan State
This paper examines state-building efforts and the economic stability model for Afghanistan and their success. The author expresses his view that these efforts focus inadequately on enabling an environment for the markets as opposed to the stability of the government. Fostering social instability by leaving the socio-economic basis of political instability intact, this economic state-building model needs to be reoriented towards a model where the state provides security and ensures basic human needs.
