Afghanistan
Afghanistan’s history is intimately tied to world politics. The unprecedented international statebuilding project staring in 2001 ended by Taliban recapturing power in 2021. Despite much significant change in the country, many of the lofty ambitions declared were not realized and Taliban continue to reverse rights of girls and women. Our research explores the intersections between international agendas and local transformations in Afghanistan in fields such as security, women’s rights , migration and climate change.
