Abstract

This chapter details the connections between the contemporary drug trade and the historical antecedents analyzed in the previous chapters. It discusses how opium became an essential component of the war economy, and how many of the same problems that plagued counter-narcotics operations in previous decades continued to plague Afghanistan during the regimes of Hamid Karzai and Ashraf Ghani. Ultimately, the chapter examines how illicit drug production is intimately tied to issues of governance in Afghanistan, and how cornerstones of counter-narcotics operations, particularly interdiction and crop eradications, do little to improve governance, and instead, perpetuate the illicit drug trade, while reinforcing the legitimacy of anti-state groups, like the Taliban. To echo a recurring theme of the book, drug control was, and still is, deeply problematic and ineffective in Afghanistan.
后记
本章详细阐述了当代毒品交易与前几章分析的历史背景之间的联系。该书讨论了鸦片如何成为战争经济的重要组成部分,以及在哈米德•卡尔扎伊(Hamid Karzai)和阿什拉夫•加尼(Ashraf Ghani)当政期间,在过去几十年里困扰禁毒行动的许多相同问题如何继续困扰着阿富汗。最后,本章探讨了非法毒品生产如何与阿富汗的治理问题密切相关,以及反毒品行动的基石,特别是禁毒和铲除毒品,如何对改善治理几乎没有帮助,反而使非法毒品交易永世长存,同时加强了塔利班等反国家组织的合法性。为了呼应书中反复出现的一个主题,在阿富汗,毒品控制过去是,现在仍然是,问题重重,效率低下。
