{"product_id":"the-swedish-presence-in-afghanistan-arita-holmberg-9781472474094","title":"The Swedish Presence in Afghanistan: Security and Defence Transformation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book delivers on two analytical levels. First, it is a broad study of Sweden as an international actor, an actor that at least for a brief period tried to play a different international role than that to which it was accustomed. Second, the book problematizes the role of international military missions as drivers for change in the security and defence field. Several perspectives and levels of analysis are covered, from the macro level of strategic discourse to the micro level of the experiences of individual commanders. The book focuses upon Sweden and its participation in the international military mission in Afghanistan during 2002-2012 and also contributes to the growing literature evaluating the mission in Afghanistan, the security practice which has dominated the security and defence discourse of Western Europe for the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arita Holmberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472474090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472474094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Arita Holmberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49000378925311,"sku":"9781472474094","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-swedish-presence-in-afghanistan-arita-holmberg-9781472474094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
