Kurzbeschreibung:

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan began its mission

in 2001. Its original task was to assist the Afghan Security Forces in providing

security in Kabul. However, in October 2003, the UN extended the ISAF area of

responsibility beyond the borders of the capital. Civil-military Provincial Reconstruction

Teams (PRTs) were deployed to a rapidly growing number of provinces.

Designed as interdepartmental teams, the PRTs were to assist the Afghan government

to establish functioning state structures in these provinces. Each PRT was

manned with up to several hundred military and civilian personnel. In practice,

however, the overwhelming majority of the personnel came from the military.

European countries like Germany, Italy, the Nordic troop contributors, Hungary, Lithuania,

and Spain explicitly designed their contributions to the Afghan state-building

project based on a 'good' humanitarian philosophy. After 2006, however, a deteriorating

security situation and escalating battles against a growing guerilla, subsumed

under the term 'Taliban movement', brought the purely military aspects of

the mission to the forefront of public awareness. PRT contributors experimented

with varying national approaches for stabilization and reconstruction, and the escalating

violence met deeply unmilitary and pacifist European perspectives and

triggered a fundamental discussion on how to proceed in Afghanistan.

This book outlines how 'the' ISAF mission functioned on different military levels,

and the results of their efforts. It also demonstrates how the PRTs worked on the

diplomatic-political level, and as parts of national bureaucracies and inter-agency

collaboration. Finally the authors examine the ways in which the Afghan experience

forever changed European armed forces.
