Afghanistan and the language of equality : a social contract in the making on a world-system fault

2013

The international intervention in Afghanistan started more than ten years ago. It built on new institutions according to the democratic model, complete with concepts generalized in the Western world since the 18th century, and among them the principle of equality.

2018

This process was particularly present during the period of fascism (1922- 1943), at the disposal of the government of Benito Mussolini.

The fundamental elements on which constituted this identity were the memorial monuments, places where the mass of the people feels the need to recognize each other to express the cult of the home…
