Afghanistan: Government Formation and Performance

Abstract

Post-Taliban Afghanistan has adopted a constitution and elected a president and a parliament; that body is emerging as a significant force in Afghan politics. However, the Afghan government's limited writ throughout the country and its perceived corruption have contributed to an increase in Taliban violence. See CRS Report RL30588, "Afghanistan: Post-War Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy," by Kenneth Katzman.
