Timothy Nunan

4.9/5 (18824 ratings)

Description:Humanitarian Invasion is the first book of its kind: a ground-level inside account of what development and humanitarianism meant for Afghanistan, a country touched by international aid like no other. Relying on Soviet, Western, and NGO archives, interviews with Soviet advisers and NGO workers, and Afghan sources, Timothy Nunan forges a vivid account of the impact of development on a country on the front lines of the Cold War. Nunan argues that Afghanistan functioned as a laboratory for the future of the Third World nation-state. If, in the 1960s, Soviets, Americans, and Germans sought to make a territorial national economy for Afghanistan, later, under military occupation, Soviet nation-builders, French and Swedish humanitarians, and Pakistani-supported guerrillas fought a transnational civil war over Afghan statehood. Covering the entire period from the Cold War to Taliban rule, Humanitarian Invasion signals the beginning of a new stage in the writing of international history.Covers the history of development and humanitarianism in Afghanistan throughout the entire twentieth centuryEngages with anthropological debates about humanitarianism through both Western and non-Western case studiesMakes extensive use of Soviet archives and interviews with former Soviet advisers--cambridge.orgWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
