on a Survey of the Afghan People - Asia Foundation, April 2007
"Based on data from the Asia
Foundation's 2006 survey, the authors describe how Afghans view their personal
situation, their perceptions of government, the policy priorities, and the role
of women in Afghan society...this volume seeks to initiate a public discourse
on public opinion in Afghanistan by providing a citizen perspective on changes
that are transforming Afghan society and politics" (p. 7).
