    Department of Political Science SIMT 07 Master’s Thesis in Global Studies Fall Term 2011 Supervisor: Ted Svensson Human Security, Peacebuilding, and the Hazara Minority of Afghanistan: A study of the importance of improving the community security of marginalized groups in peacebuilding efforts in non-Western Societies Annika Frantzell Abstract This thesis is focused on the lack of investment in the human security of the marginalized Hazara minority of Afghanistan. Human security is a relatively new concept over which there is considerable debate and this thesis presents a discussion of various debates regarding human security and peacekeeping before taking a firm stance in the debates, emphasizing the importance of investing in the human security of marginalized groups in non-Western societies. The case of the human security of the Hazara has never been researched before and this thesis therefore represents a unique case study. This thesis finds that there are four clearly identifiable factors which have led to a lack of investment in the Hazara, namely: the inaccessibility of their native region, the Hazarajat, continued discrimination against them, the militarization of aid, and the top-down, donor-driven nature of aid in Afghanistan. The effects of this lack of investment manifest themselves both domestically within Afghanistan and internationally, with thousands of Hazaras emigrating to other countries, which emphasize the importance of a bottom-up human security approach to peacebuilding which involves an understanding of the socio-political situation on the ground.

    PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS April 1-April 15, 2010 AGRICULTURE USAID Brings Hope to Marja: Only a month after the end of Operation Moshtarak, newly appointed Marja District Governor Hajji Zaher has already held the first in a series of meetings with local elders on USAID’s Afghanistan Vouchers for Increased Production in Agriculture (AVIPA) Plus program to explain the benefits and responsibilities that come with it. At the first meeting, the District Governor gave the elders the good news that USAID will soon deliver 4,000 mobile water pumps. The pumps will help farmers irrigate their fields using water from existing The District Governor of Marja calls on elders to participate in AVIPA’s voucher distribution canals. Additionally, USAID will distribute agricultural program. machinery to the district and will organize cash-for- PHOTO: IRD/AVIPA Plus work canal cleaning activities to provide licit employment opportunities. The first meeting set a precedent for future cooperation by encouraging community participation and government guidance – the base on which AVIPA’s interventions in agriculture rest. The program promotes cooperation between farmers and government representatives, using agriculture to stabilize conflict-ridden areas of Afghanistan. The effort is already bearing fruit. “We are happy with the government. We need these pumps to increase irrigation capacity. The District Governor is asking us to take responsibility for this process,” said one of the elders. Another elder commented, “Providing employment, seed, and fertilizer is the right way to start.” INFRASTRUCTURE Winter Road Maintenance Keeps Traffic Flowing: In many areas of Afghanistan, the roads in winter are almost impassable. On April 6, Afghan leaders in Bamyan applauded the USAID-sponsored winter maintenance program that kept the road from Bamyan to Dushi open and cut travel time between the cities by six hours.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.
