Book Description:
|
Despite efforts to build the state, profound political order in rural Afghanistan is maintained by self-governing, customary organizations. This book explores the rules governing these organizations to explain why they can provide public goods. Instead of withering during decades of conflict, customary authority adapted to become more responsive.
