Sommario/riassunto

Despite the fall of the Taliban, Afghanistan remains a country in dire need of strong international support. This fascinating and clearly written book mines a rich and unique array of data, which was collected in rural areas of Afghanistan by an expert team of researchers, to



analyze countrywide trends in the relationship between human security and livelihoods. The team's research and recommendations are published here for the first time.
