This is the first in-depth village-level assessment of how local populations conceive of stability and stabilisation, and provides a theory and model for how stability can be created in communities during and after conflict. The data was collected during field research from 2010-12. In Afghanistan the conflicts examined include the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1979, the civil war from 1992 and the rise and fall of the Taliban. In Nepal the research examined the origins of the Maoist movement and the start of the People's War in 1996 to its completion in 2006 and the subsequent Madeshi Andolan in 2007. The book argues that international, particularly Western, notions of stability and stabilisation processes have failed to grasp the importance of local political legitimacy formation, which is a vital aspect of contemporary statebuilding of a 'non-Westphalian' nature. The interventions, across defence, diplomatic and defence lines, have also at times undermined one another and in some cases contributed to instability. The work argues that the theories that structure interventions to address threats to international stability in 'fragile' states are insufficient to explain or achieve the goal of stability. This book will be of interest to students of stabilisation operations, statebuilding, peacebuilding, counterinsurgency, war and conflict studies and security studies in general"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- A history of intervention : Afghanistan and Nepal -- Indigenous stabilisation : Kalakan, Afghanistan -- Exogenous stabilisation : Nahr-i Sarraj, Afghanistan -- Insurgent stabilisation : Rolpa, Nepal -- Autonomous stabilisation : Bara, Nepal -- Power, violence, intervention and stability -- A theory and model of stabilisation. 650 0 $a Intervention (International law) $v Case studies. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009127486 650 0 $a Postwar reconstruction $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Armed Forces $x Stability operations $v Case studies. 651 0 $a Afghanistan $x History $y Soviet occupation, 1979-1989. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001522 651 0 $a Afghanistan $x History $y 1989-2001. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh89002317 651 0 $a Nepal $x History $y Civil War, 1996-2006. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2006001083 650 0 $a Nation-building $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Nation-building $z Nepal. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / Afghan War (2001-) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / International Security. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a MilitaÌrische Intervention. $0 (DE-588)4027497-4 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische StabilitaÌt. $0 (DE-588)4128497-5 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Afghanistan. $0 (DE-588)4000687-6 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Nepal. $0 (DE-588)4041612-4 $2 gnd 830 0 $a Cass military studies. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005073418 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021023720.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A539262F5D511E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
