“…Intense fighting between insurgents on the one hand, and ISAF, Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and mostly still informal militias (locally referred to as arbakee) on the other hand was frequent in 2011. 32 Respondents in 2011 continued to feel very threatened and the perceptions of ISAF's effects on security dropped to an all-time low.…”

“…This level dropped again when the militias were formalised as Afghan Local Police and subordinated under state control, and when the Taliban lost much of their territorial control in 2013 only to increase again in 2015, when after the withdrawal of most international forces the Taliban reasserted their control and underfinanced militias started to generate their own revenues again. 57 Figure 4.

This paper contributes to an empirical understanding of state formation. Based on an original household-level data set, we provide a detailed picture of the process of state formation in Afghanistan over the last decade. State formation happens when state and society engage in reciprocal relations. Central to this relationship is an exchange of services for the acceptance of authority and increased legitimacy. Our data allows us to assess state-society relations across different dimensions. We focus on the provision of services, on the responsiveness of the state, on conflict regulation and on taxation. In result we find more evidence of state formation than expected but also see this as a contested process that unfolds unevenly and with different speed across different sectors.

“…By doing so, not only have they implicitly supported the normative model underpinning the liberal peace, but they have also neglected the analysis of power relations in the context of SSR programs. A new generation of SSR scholarship is increasingly concerned with theorizing SSR processes and outcomes by drawing on the literature on state-building and the liberal peace, including debates about hybrid security governance (Schroeder, Chappuis, & Kocak, 2014) and limited statehood (Koehler & Gosztonyi, 2014) which have challenged Weberian notions of the state (Hills, 2014;Sedra, 2017). Moreover, SSR has been theorized from different perspectives, from sociological approaches (Blaustein, 2014) to organizational theory to Foucauldian, and postcolonial studies (Eriksson Baaz & Stern, 2017).…”
