Abstract

The author explores the benefits and trade-offs of globalization focusing closely on the country of Afghanistan. In particular, he investigates the aspects of narcotics trafficking, trade, and media and argues that despite the costs of being exposed to global and regional influences and forces, the price of isolation and neglect for Afghanistan would be much higher.
