GOVT 440 - State Building in Afghanistan

Credits: (4)
College Curriculum: College 400
This seminar focuses on the political rebuilding of Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban, current policy options for state-rebuilding, and the drivers of relations between Afghanistan and other countries in the region and beyond. Using Afghanistan as a case study, it also illuminates choices and decisions in state-rebuilding faced by post-conflict countries. Students write a draft and a finalized 25-page original research paper and interact with Afghanistan experts through video conferencing and a day trip to Washington DC.
