Description:
"With coalition intervention and the subsequent deposition of the ulema-dominated Taliban government, the educated elites are back in power. However, as Gilles Dorronsoro argues, patching up the country by means of short-term ethnic alliances and a new division of the spoils will only perpetuate the schisms in society. He believes, on a very sound factual and analytical basis, the Afghan civil war is set to continue and perhaps worsen over time, despite Western intervention since 9/11"--Jacket.
