Sub-type Policy brief Author Felbab-Brown, Vanda Title Afghanistan Affectations: How to Break Political-Criminal Alliances in Contexts of Transitions Series Title Crime-Conflict Nexus Series Volume/Issue No. 8 Publication Date 2017 Place of Publication Tokyo Publisher United Nations University Centre for Policy Research Pages 37 Language eng Abstract The case of Afghanistan analyzes how counterinsurgency, stabilization, and reconstruction dynamics have interacted with the generalized predatory criminality in Afghanistan and how the latter became the crux of Afghanistan’s dire and fragile predicament. The transition choices by the Afghan government and the international community, particularly the embrace of problematic warlords for the sake of short-term military battlefield advantages and as tools of political cooptation, shaped and reinforced criminality and corruption in post-2001 Afghanistan and thus delegitimized the post-Taliban political dispensation.
