Based on fieldwork in provinces across the country and interviews with more than seven hundred candidates, officials, community leaders, and voters, this book builds an in-depth portrait of Afghanistan's recent elections as experienced by individuals and communities, while revealing how the elections have in fact actively contributed to instability, undermining the prospects of democracy in Afghanistan. Merging political science with anthropology, Noah Coburn and Anna Larson document how political leaders, commanders, and the new ruling elite have used elections to further their own interests and deprive local communities of access to political opportunities. They retrace presidential, parliamentary, and provincial council elections over the past decade and expose the role of international actors in promoting the polls as one-off events, detached from the broader political landscape. This approach to elections has allowed existing local powerholders to solidify their grip on resources and opportunities, derailing democratization processes and entrenching a deeper disengagement from central government. Western powers, Coburn and Larson argue, need to reevaluate their most basic assumptions about elections, democracy, and international intervention if they hope to prevent similar outcomes in the future. 606 $aElections$zAfghanistan 606 $aDemocracy$zAfghanistan 606 $aDemocratization$zAfghanistan 607 $aAfghanistan$xPolitics and government$y2001-2021 615 0$aElections 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aDemocratization 676 $a324.9581 700 $aCoburn$b Noah$01143375 701 $aLarson$b Anna$01203539 701 $aScimanski$b Bryce$01530931 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787615203321 996 $aDerailing democracy in Afghanistan$93776320 997 $aUNINA
