    Security and Justice in a Failed State Context ~ The Effects of State Failure on Human Attitudes toward Formal Institutions concerned with Justice and Security in Kunduz, Afghanistan by Nils Johannes Witte A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Science in Human Geography with a specialization in Conflicts, Territories and Identities Under the supervision of Dr. Jair van der Lijn Radboud University Nijmegen December 2012 2 Author’s name: Nils Johannes Witte Student number: 4050045 Supervisor: Dr. Jair van der Lijn Huizen, December 2012 Contact: [email protected] 3 Acknowledgements I hereby present my thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Human Geography, with a specialisation in Conflicts, Territories and Identities. The research conducted for this thesis was done in Kunduz, Afghanistan, as part of the research for the baseline study of the evaluation of the Netherlands Integrated Police training Mission in Kunduz, Afghanistan. In June 2011, I left for the first time for Afghanistan to work for an Afghan NGO; the Cooperation for Peace and Unity. It was a one month assignment, and I was to analyse local level disputes in Kunduz province and Takhar province in Northern Afghanistan. My work was published as two [unnamed] Local Conflict Trend Analysis Papers in early 2012. When I returned to the Netherlands in July 2011, I was asked by the same Afghan NGO if I was interested in coming back to Kabul to work for them as a project manager. Together with an American colleague, Seth Peavey, I was responsible for managing the (field-)research related to the evaluation of the Netherlands Integrated Police training Mission in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

Many communities live in the Kunduz River Basin (KRB), and its water resources have been the basis of their livelihoods for many generations. This study investigates climate change impacts on the KRB catchment. Rare station data are, for the first time, used to analyze systematic trends in temperature, precipitation, and river discharge over the past few decades, while using Mann–Kendall and Theil–Sen trend statistics. The trends show that the hydrology of the basin changed significantly over the last decades. A comparison of landcover data of the river basin from 1992 and 2019 shows significant changes that have additional impact on the basin hydrology, which are used to interpret the trend analysis. There is considerable uncertainty due to the data scarcity and gaps in the data, but all results indicate a strong tendency towards drier conditions. An extreme warming trend, partly above 2 ◦C since the 1960s in combination with a dramatic precipitation decrease by more than 30% lead to a strong decrease in river discharge.
