Owing to its geo-strategic location and mineral wealth, Afghanistan has acquired significance in the inter-state politics of Asia as well as world politics during the past decades. This book discusses the Taliban’s return which outlines the recent and current developments in contemporary Afghanistan.

The essays in this volume:



Locate Afghanistan under globalisation and reflect on the state and nation-building efforts in Afghanistan by shedding light on the status of citizens, especially women
Analyse how the Taliban survived in all these years, and how it returned to power
Examine Afghanistan’s relations with major powers like the USA, China, and India and explore the intricacies of ties between India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan within the Indian subcontinent

Shedding light on a threshold moment in 21st Century world politics, this work will be useful to scholars and researchers in political science, international relations, sociology, area studies, and the interested general reader.
