Dana Burde shows how aid to education in Afghanistan bolstered conflict both deliberately in the 1980's through violence-infused, anti-Soviet curricula and inadvertently in the 2000's through misguided stabilization programs. She also reveals how dominant humanitarian models that determine what counts as appropriate aid have limited attention and resources toward education, in some cases fueling programs that undermine their goals. For education to promote peace in Afghanistan, Burde argues we must expand equal access to quality community-based education and support programs that increase girls' and boys' attendance at school. Referring to a recent U.S. effort that has produced strong results in these areas, Burde commends the program's efficient administration and good quality, and its neutral curriculum, which can reduce conflict and build peace in lasting ways. Drawing on up-to-date research on humanitarian education work amid conflict zones around the world and incorporating insights gleaned from extensive fieldwork in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Burde recalculates and improves a popular formula for peace.EducationAfghanistanSchoolsAfghanistanEducation and stateAfghanistanNation-buildingAfghanistanEconomic assistance, AmericanAfghanistanHumanitarian assistance, AmericanAfghanistanEducationSchoolsEducation and stateNation-buildingEconomic assistance, AmericanHumanitarian assistance, American370.9581Burde Dana1600728MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824843103321Schools for conflict or for peace in Afghanistan3923969UNINA
