When the Taliban retook Kabul last summer, everyone was searching for answers about why it happened. Murtazashvili, an academic and researcher with years of on-the-ground experience in Afghanistan, provided a compelling thesis: in trying to impose models of democratic engagement from the outside, the US failed to take account of local structures of accountability.
