Summary
International studies professor Larry Goodson on this edition of Fresh Air. Larry Goodson is associate professor of international Studies at Bentley College, Waltham, Massachusetts. He's the author of the book, Afghanistan's Endless War: State Failure, Regional Politics, and the Rise of the Taliban. Goodson writes that Afghanistan has "become the archetype of a failed state and a perfect example of how nonstate actors move into the vacuum created when a state fails." He also writes about the divisions in the Afghan population: ethnic, linguistic, regional, sectarian, racial, and tribal. (Broadcast Date: November 29, 2001)
