Land, People, and the State in Afghanistan - AREU Feb 2013

The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) has released a new publication that deals with land governance in Afghanistan. The publication is entitled "Land, People, and the State in Afghanistan: 2002-2012". Liz Alden Wily is the author and a brief description of the document is provided in quotes below:
"This case study carefully documents the changes in land relations and land governance since the signing of the Bonn Agreement in December 2001. The decade began and ended with rhetoric against land grabbing. However, it now seems too entrenched, too tacitly supported politically, and too expedient for private wealth creation by elites, to be halted."
