- Summary:
- "The presidency of Hamid Karzai was a significant transition for Afghanistan. This report describes subnational politics -- specifically, provincial governorships -- over the period in general terms, exploring the gaps between assumptions that drove belief in the possibility of a radically new and improved brand of governance and the realities on the ground. The findings aim to inform a more realistic outlook not only on Afghan politics past and future, but also on subsequent foreign-led interventions to foster improved governance in conflict-ridden countries worldwide"--Publisher's web site.
