This book explores how the bureaucratic ruling elites in the state apparatus, lacking public support, relied on imperial powers for economic, military, and political assistance, and how an assortment of established and rising imperial powers since the eighteenth century exploited the situation to advance their own agendas. It undertakes an analysis of the dynamics of political development in Afghanistan and policies of imperial powers that influenced the direction of development in the country, as well as the contributing issues of tribalism, ethnicity and regionalism that constituted the very fabric of Afghanistan's society.
This book examines how dependent development and struggles for power within and outside the state apparatus led to formation of alliances with imperial powers and how the latter used these alliances to manipulate political development in Afghanistan to their own advantage.
