Reviews

First of its kind, comprehensive and illuminating insight into Afghanistan with concrete recommendations on how the country can thrive and help itself reform its trade and trade relations with the world. -- Dr. Ahmad Khalid Hatam, Chancellor, Kardan University, Kabul Afghanistan Immersing myself in the pages of this book, I journeyed through the world of Afghanistan's global trade, concluding with enriched insights essential for academics and policymakers. -- Dr. Behnaz Saboori, Assistant Professor, College of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman I highly recommend this book for its in-depth exploration of Afghanistan's international trade journey, especially post-2001. It provides valuable insights for policymakers and scholars, offering innovative trade proposals and insights into Afghanistan's global trade role. Essential for understanding Afghanistan's trade potential. -- Dr. Lyla Abdul Latif, Chair and Research Lead, Committee on Fiscal Studies, University of Nairobi This book provides a timely and profoundly insightful exploration into a fundamental question that has bedevilled economic policy planning for decades – how should developing countries achieve economic growth? Straddling the topics of international trade, globalisation, economic development, state policy planning, and private sector development, Wani diagnoses the impediments to export-oriented growth and proposes ambitious recommendations that may serve as correctives. His focus on Afghanistan provides a rich site for exploring these challenges. Using extensive quantitative analysis alongside well-established theoretical models, Wani positions Afghanistan vis-à-vis its regional neighbours as well as concerning ASEAN and SAARC nations and the European Union, thereby evincing opportunities for enhanced international trade. While optimistic, he also raises the trade-offs of different policy choices. The book draws on Wani’s decade of scholarly engagement with Afghanistan’s economy, ultimately succeeding in providing lessons on economic growth that may be applied to much of the developing world. -- Dr Nafay Choudhury, London School of Economics and Political Science
