The publication provides a systematic analysis of the relationship between education and conflict, tracing how different approaches have been applied in Afghanistan as the rationale for aid has shifted from a policy of benign neglect, to an effort to support war, to an effort to mitigate conflict. Using this history as a case study, the book explores how foreign intervention in education can contribute either to conflict or to peace..
