Factions, “Warlords,” Etc… (Late 1970s to the present)…page 25.
3. Islam, Political Islam, Sharia, Jihad, Sects………page 47.
4. The International Community, Reconstruction, Security,
Economy, Government, and Development………page 51.
5. Opium Cultivation, Drug Use and Trafficking……………page 76.
6. Environment, Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources……page 84.
7. Human Rights Violations………page 89.
8. Women, Gender and Family……page 93.
9. Civil-Military Relations, Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs),
Counterinsurgency and Military Issues………page 101.
10. Refugees, Internal Displacement, Migration and Diaspora Issues……page 109.
11. Macro and Micro Economics……page 116.
12. Opinion Polls, Interviews, Study Groups and Surveys……page 120.
13. Periodicals and Academic Journals……page 122.

I have added over thirty pages worth of sources, some of which are recently published. But most new additions are sources that I had previously missed. Thanks to all those people who suggested sources for inclusion.
