Covering a wide range of important subjects including state-building, democracy, war, the rule of law and international relations, the book draws out two overarching key factors: the way in which the prevailing neopatrimonial political order, established in an earlier "state-free" period, has become entrenched, making it very difficult for any other political order to take root; and the hostile region in which Afghanistan is located, especially the way in which an ongoing "creeping invasion" from Pakistani territory has compromised the aspirations of both the Afghan government and its international backers to move the country to a more stable position. 410 0$aDurham modern Middle East and Islamic world series ;$v45. 606 $aWater-supply$zEurasia 606 $aWater resources development$zEurasia 606 $aRural development$zEurasia 606 $aSustainable development$zEurasia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWater-supply 615 0$aWater resources development 615 0$aRural development 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a333.91 676 $a333.910095 676 $a333.911209475 701 $aArsel$b Murat$0888105 701 $aSpoor$b Max$0887837 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457006203321 996 $aWater, environmental security and sustainable rural development$91983733 997 $aUNINA
