Afghanistan has contended with an almost continuous series of foreign interventions in its local affairs in the 19th and 20th centuries. While the resilience of the Afghan population in the face of external influence is widely recognised, how the local populations have dealt with these interventions and how local politics is structured in Afghanistan still remain somewhat open questions. This book sheds light on this phenomenon as well as illuminating the complexities of local politics in Afghanistan, analysing also how the local social order is disturbed or reinforced by outside intervention.

A management simulation exercise plus a field study were used to analyze the relationship between performance, decision-making processes, and emergent organizational structure. It was found that lower performing organizations relied more on "inspired" decisions, took less time for the process, and were more formally structured. However, the increase in structure and lowered satisfaction tended to follow performance changes rather than cause them.

As a means of mitigating the effects of restrictions arising from the creation of the Mole National Park, a tourism intervention was introduced in Mognori, a village on one of the fringes of the famed park.This study assesses the Mognori Ecovillage Project especially in terms of its anticipated role in diversifying livelihoods. Qualitative research approaches were employed. Instruments such as In-depthInterview schedules were used to elicit information from household heads while focus group discussions (FGD) were used to elicit data from homestay operators and cultural dance troupes. Tourism was found to play an important diversification role in the sense that it provided both full-time and alternative means of income for some residents especially in the dry season. Tourism has become the "life wire" of some locales and the community needs to take steps to attract more tourists and provide a richer but engaging itinerary through improving cultural tourism resources such as the introduction of products like farm tourism and angling in the Mognori River. It is recommended that the homestay providers be trained in visitor reception skills including basic communication in Enghish language to enhance the experience of visitors.
