Abstract

The broad nature of the literature reviewed to construct this model was necessary to provide the background regarding the interrelationships between the various theories of inputs and outcomes and their sometimes disjointed actual outcomes in reality. This chapter covers several aspects of actions taken by the allies after the cessation of hostilities to stabilize the society within the axis nations. It also examines the history of Afghanistan and the demography and culture. It concludes with an exploration of agent based modeling and why it is a useful tool for conducting this study. Issues ranging from military-NGO coordination to change capacity of the society as well as the legitimacy of the belligerents within the society are captured within this simulation and this literature review provides the context for the interpretation of the results of the simulations.
