Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

This course highlights the importance of anthropological expertise in trying to understand the current situation in Afghanistan. Despite vast scale attempts to establish a firm central government in post-Taleban Afghanistan the influence of Kabul is still rather weak, in fact loosing its stance in large parts of country. Taking anthropological theories and ethnographic studies into account a more realistic and viable approach could be achieved in re-building the country.
