Overview
In her remarks, Professor Barma will describe how past international attempts at brokering peace in Afghanistan – including the 2001 Bonn Agreement – have unsuccessfully contended with the underlying political realities in the country, which in turn have been forged by decades of conflict. She will also discuss the view that Afghan elites have constructed a political order in which traditional, patronage-based governance stymies statebuilding and democratization. Drawing on her most recent book, The Peacebuilding Puzzle: Political Order in Post-Conflict States (Cambridge University Press 2017), Dr. Barma will suggest a series of principles necessary for achieving a peaceful political order in post-conflict Afghanistan.
Naazneen H. Barma is Associate Professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School.
