Giustozzi, AntonioAuthor
Isaqzadeh, MohammadContributor
This is a study of a police force in a developing country that is also undergoing a bitter internal conflict, further to the post-2001 external intervention in Afghanistan. It discusses the evolution of the country's police through its various stages but focuses in particular on the last decade. The chapters review the ongoing debates over the future shape of Afghanistan's police, but seek primarily to analyse the way Afghanistan is policed relative to its existing social, political, and international constraints.
