  • Geography Lessons

    Barnett R RubinARTICLESurvival2022

    The United States’ Pacific-centric perspective on Asia has kept it from fully appreciating the relative decline of US power in continental Asia west of China, which the US withdrawal from Afghanistan illuminates. During the 20-year US intervention there, the combined economies of the countries surrounding Afghanistan grew from five-sixths the size of the US economy to almost twice its size. China’s massive Belt and Road Initiative responds to gen…

  • Robert D. Crews. Afghan Modern

    Barnett R RubinARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    Afghan Modern: The History of a Global Nation presents a well-researched and interesting history on the ways that the territories of the various states or empires that have been labeled “Afghan” or named “Afghanistan” and the various groups that have at one time or another been identified as “Afghans” integrated into international relationships. In the process, however, Robert D. Crews makes overblown claims about his work’s significance: “My app…

  • Building States to Build Peace

    Edith Bowles, Rex Brynen et al.BOOKBuilding States to Build Peace2008

    How can legitimate and sustainable states best be established in the aftermath of civil wars? And what role should international actors play in supporting the vital process? Addressing these questions, the authors of Building States to Peace explore the core challenges involved in institutionalizing postconflict states. The combination of thematic chapters and in-depth case studies covers the full range of the most vexing and diverse problems con…

  • From Bonn to London

    Barnett R Rubin, Humayun HamidzadaARTICLEInternational Peacekeeping2007Cited by: 4

    Following the four-year Bonn Agreement implementation period, from December 2001 to December 2005, the London Conference on Afghanistan was convened, 31 January–1 February, to reaffirm the commitment of world leaders to the next phase of statebuilding and reform in Afghanistan. The central document of this gathering, the Afghanistan Compact, sets forth a number of time-bound benchmarks for the next five years in the areas of security, governance …

  • Prevention of Violent Conflict

    Barnett R Rubin, Bruce D JonesARTICLEGlobal Governance A Review of…2007Cited by: 1

    In endorsing the recommendations of the High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change, then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan committed to strengthening the organization’s function to prevent armed conflict. A review of the UN’s track record in the three types of conflict prevention—operational, structural, and systemic—shows its success has been limited to cases of interstate conflict between smaller powers. Serious political and institutiona…

  • Central Asia and Central Africa

    Barnett R RubinARTICLEJournal of Human Development2006

    In the former Soviet states of Central Asia, Afghanistan and its neighboring countries, and the in the Great Lakes region of Africa, conflicts have been organized around cultural identities. These identities, however, are not sub‐national but transnational. They have linked groups within a state to trans‐border networks that have participated in both contemporary global markets and warfare, as elements of regional conflict formations. The latter …

  • Peace building and state-building in Afghanistan

    Barnett R RubinARTICLEThird World Quarterly2006Cited by: 16

    In the aftermath of civil wars, international actors often worry about the incoherence, tribalism, and division of war-torn nation-states like Afghanistan. However, the problems encountered in the Afghanistan recovery and reconstruction effort illustrate that the divisions, rivalries and fragmentation of authority of the ‘international community’ have constituted just as big an obstacle to what the UN now calls ‘peace building’. Sustainable stabi…

  • Afghanistan

    Barnett R RubinARTICLECritique internationale2005References: 1

    Peace Building and State Building in Afghanistan: Constructing Sovereignty for Whose Security? The operations called « peace building » or post-conflict » by the United Nations are better conceived of as internationally supported state building. They thus form part of the historical process of formation of an international state system based on the juridical sovereignty of very unequal states. The problems encountered in the Afghanistan recovery,…

  • Constructing sovereignty for security

    Barnett R RubinARTICLESurvival2005Cited by: 4

    In a global order based on juridical sovereignty of nation-states, the missions called ‘peacebuilding’ by the UN or ‘stabilisation operations’ by some governments necessarily require the building of states. The international organisations and governments involved in such efforts, however, have neither the doctrine nor organisation for such tasks. Problems encountered in recent efforts signal the need for a unified international counterpart for th…

  • (Re)Building Afghanistan

    Barnett R RubinARTICLECurrent History2004

    Unlike Iraq, in Afghanistan an international consensus supports common goals for the entire operation, providing a test of whether the ‘international community’ is capable of effective joint action to make societies secure, even when their insecurity threatens the whole world. So far the results indicate that governments and international institutions are not up to the job

It discusses the obstacles overcome and the compromises made as this multiethnic country laid down th…

  • Transitional justice and human rights in Afghanistan

    Open AccessBarnett R RubinARTICLEInternational Affairs2003Cited by: 6

    Like other societies emerging from protracted conflict, Afghanistan confronts a legacy of past crimes and violence. Communist rulers, Soviet occupiers, rural resistance fighters, Islamist parties, the Taleban movement, Pakistani volunteers, al-Qaeda members, power-seeking warlords, and the anti-Taliban coalition all contributed more or less to the litany of abuses since 1978. Almost no one in the society has been untouched, and almost no one with…

    September 11 revealed the dangers of allowing so-called humanitarian emergencies or failed states to fester—not only to neighboring countries but to the world. An American administration that came to power denouncing efforts at ‘nation building’ and criticizing reliance on international organizations and agreements has now proclaimed that it needs to ensure a ‘stable Afghanistan’ to prevent that country from ever again becoming a haven for terror…
