With considerable cultural differences, many people are now living together, creating new multicultural societies where communication may be difficult or even impossible, with a consequent risk of misunderstanding during the interaction. In order to avoid this situation, the primary need is to eliminate linguistic and socio-cultural barriers and this can only be achieved with the help of interpreters.

Country and Sector Background Public Disclosure Authorized Despite a deteriorating security environment and increasing constraints to private sector development, Afghanistan experienced robust economic growth over the last few years: real GDP is expected to have grown by 11.4 percent in 2007/08 (GDP US$9.6 billion) and 7.5 percent in 2008/09 (GDP US$12.8 billion). Per capita income increased from US$125 to US$300 from 2002 to 2008. Alongside of this economic growth in Afghanistan, there also has been considerable effort to rebuild the financial sector in terms of its institutional and legal framework, which has led to an increased number of private commercial banks operating in Afghanistan. Despite this overall growth, a weak financial sector still remains one of the major binding constraints to private sector development in Afghanistan. Currently, the sector does not meet the financial needs of industries and individuals, nor provide adequate financial services to business. Due to highly Public Disclosure Authorized collateralized lending practices along with a lack of financial intermediation capacity in the financial sector, access to credit remains a serious constraint to private sector development. The share of total credit to GDP is 6.7% (2007) in Afghanistan, which is far less than the average share of credit to GDP within South Asia at 43%.

SUICIDE ATTACKS IN AFGHANISTAN: WHY NOW? by Ghulam Farooq Mujaddidi A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Major: Political Science Under the Supervision of Professor Patrice C. McMahon Lincoln, Nebraska May, 2013 SUICIDE ATTACKS IN AFGHANISTAN: WHY NOW? Ghulam Farooq Mujaddidi, M.A. University of Nebraska, 2013 Adviser: Patrice C. McMahon Why, contrary to their predecessors, did the Taliban resort to use of suicide attacks in the 2000s in Afghanistan? By drawing from terrorist innovation literature and Michael Horowitz’s adoption capacity theory—a theory of diffusion of military innovation—the author argues that suicide attacks in Afghanistan is better understood as an innovation or emulation of a new technique to retaliate in asymmetric warfare when insurgents face arms embargo, military pressure, and have direct links to external terrorist groups.

    Airpower in Afghanistan How a Faraway War Is Remaking the Air Force

    AIRPOWER IN AFGHANISTAN How a faraway war is remaking the Air Force By Rebecca Grant FEBRUARY 2009 A MITCHELL INSTITUTE SPECIAL REPORT Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell On September 12, 1918 at St. Mihiel in France, Col. Wil- liam Mitchell became the first person ever to command a major force of allied aircraft in a combined-arms opera- tion. This battle was the debut of the US Army fighting under a single American commander on European soil. Under Mitchell’s control, more than 1,100 allied aircraft worked in unison with ground forces in a broad offen- sive—one encompassing not only the advance of ground troops but also direct air attacks on enemy strategic tar- gets, aircraft, communications, logistics, and forces beyond the front lines. Mitchell was promoted to Brigadier General by order of Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force, in recognition of his com- mand accomplishments during the St. Mihiel offensive and the subsequent Meuse-Argonne offensive. After World War I, General Mitchell served in Washington and then became Commander, First Provisional Air Brigade, in 1921. That summer, he led joint Army and Navy demonstration attacks as bombs delivered from aircraft sank several captured German vessels, including the SS Ostfriesland. His determination to speak the truth about airpower and its importance to America led to a court-martial trial in 1925. Mitchell was convicted, and re- signed from the service in February 1926. Mitchell, through personal example and through his writing, inspired and en- couraged a cadre of younger airmen. These included future General of the Air Force Henry H.
