{"product_id":"9780815396260","title":"US Nation-Building in Afghanistan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe main objective of the book is to deepen readers understanding of the impact of bureaucratic politics on nation-building in Afghanistan, focusing primarily on the Bush Administration. It rejects the ’rational actor’ model, according to which the US functions as a coherent, monolithic agent. Instead, internal divisions within the foreign policy bureaucracy are explored, to build up a picture of the internal tensions and contradictions that bedeviled US nation-building efforts. The book also contributes to the vexed issue of whether or not the US should engage in nation-building at all, and if so under what conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49138906333419,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":133.27,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780815396260-1.jpg?v=1785770742","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780815396260","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
