Nation-Building Unraveled? Aid, Peace, and Justice in Afghanistan

"A volume that speaks to its title.... an excellent account which demonstrates the worth of subjecting foreign policy to rigorous challenge from the ground up."—International Affairs

"Rarely does a book appear with this much insight and crucial, real-time information about a crisis still in progress."—Barbara Crossette, UN Wire

"Nation-Building Unraveled? draws on the Afghan example as a case study that can be applied to other areas  in the world where the international community faces similar challenges. It provocatively questions the traditional point of view that greater coordination between political, humanitarian, and human rights action brings about better results in peacebuilding."—Humanitarian Affairs Review

"This is a timely book, with analysis solidly rooted in the realities of humanitarian action ... and should interest all who want to understand the changing politicization of aid."—Journal of Peace Research
