Description
This book is a study of regime change in an underdeveloped country with a weak state and strong autonomous social organizations. Regime change is in many countries a traumatic and disruptive experience, but few countries have paid as high a cost to retain traditionally accepted relationships of authority as has Afghanistan since the communist coup of April 1978. In this book the authors seek to explain the experience of the post-coup period by relating Afghanistan's political and social systems to broader theoretical propositions about regime maintenance and political legitimization.
