Nation Building in Afghanistan - A Disconnect Between Security Means and Political Ends?

Abstract

This paper will attempt to answer the following question: Given the mixed record of success and failure of past nation building endeavors, has the UN and the International Community learned to assess and plan for peacekeeping forces needed for successful nation building in a tribally and ethnically fractured country with no sense nor history of "nabonality'? And if not, how - what policies would be most effective to this end?
