The international community's subsequent attempts to ban opium poppy cultivation became intimately linked with its state-building project, and rising levels of cultivation were often cited as evidence of failure by those international donors who spearheaded stabilization and development in opium-growing provinces like Helmand, Nangarhar and Kandahar. Mansfield examines why drug control - particularly opium bans - have been imposed in Afghanistan; he documents the actors involved; and scrutinizes how prohibition served quite divergent and sometimes competing interests. 606 $aOpium trade$zAfghanistan 607 $aAfghanistan$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aOpium trade 676 $a363.5 700 $aMansfield$b David$01169886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821086603321 996 $aA state built on sand$94060787 997 $aUNINA
