Academics of course, but also officials of the Afghan government, US military personnel, people from the World Bank, and others ponder whether the remaking of Afghanistan is going well or not. The 11 papers are from a December 2006 workshop in Waterloo, Canada, and three of the papers consider Canada's role in the operation. Topics discussed include laying economic foundations for a new Afghanistan, security sector reform and state building, insecurity along the Durand line, and Canada in Afghanistan: assessing the numbers.
