Understanding Post-9/11 Afghanistan: A Critical Insight into Huntington´s Civilizational Approach

Deepshikha Shahi 

This critical theory text explores the political and economic factors that have shaped post-9/11 Afghanistan. While performing this task, the volume 1) rejects the applicability of Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations thesis to the endemic violence in the country, and 2) outlines a “post-Islamic humanist discourse” which might pave the way for peace in Afghanistan, while also freeing Islam from the "unjustified denigration" it has experienced throughout the world.
