GOVT 2847 Political History of Modern Afghanistan
Course description
Is Afghanistan part of Central Asia, South Asia, or the Middle East? Is it truly the ‘graveyard of empires’? Why are great powers so interested in intervening in this country? Why did Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States fail to maintain their presence there? How does Afghan society and politics function? In this course, students will have the opportunity to explore answers to these and other questions. (IR)
