Abstract

This project delves into the issue of state-building in Afghanistan and the US’ role. The project analyses why nation-building failed from the angle of economics and politics. There is usage of dependency theory and political modernity that is utilized to understand and reflect on the empirical data. The project concludes that the nation-building project led by the US has failed due to lack of effective political development as well as deep reliance on aid from the US and its allies.
