Political history -- pt. 2. External relations. 330 $aThis political and diplomatic history of late nineteenth-century Afghanistan and its major ethnic groups lays bare how the ground was laid for the emergence of Afghanistan as a nation-state as well as for the implementation of schemes of modernization. It describes how Amir Sher 'Ali Khan and, more fully, Amir 'Abd al-Rahman Khan for the first time consolidated the authority of the central government at the expense of the traditional autonomous local magnates, and thus managed to organize a centralized monarchical state and extend its direct rule thoughout Afghanistan. They did so in the days of what has become known as The Great Game for the mastery of Central Asian states. Although The Great Game resulted in the reduction of Afghanistan in size, it also led to the clear demarcation of its boundaries in accordance with international agreements. 410 0$aBrill's Inner Asian Library ;$v17. 606 $aDiplomatic relations 606 $aPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDiplomatic relations. 615 0$aPolitics and government. 676 $a958.1/03 700 $aKakar$b Mohammad Hassan$01046829 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458164103321 996 $aA Political and Diplomatic History of Afghanistan, 1863-1901$92474047 997 $aUNINA
