Governance Structures in Nimroz Province

This case study examined popular perspectives on democracy and governance structures in Nimroz Province—an area far removed from the political centre in Kabul and strongly influenced by its proximity to neighbouring Iran. Its remoteness has left it vulnerable to natural disasters but largely shielded from the political instability plaguing the rest of the country. The study found that each of these factors has helped shape a unique set of local attitudes towards democratic and traditional institutions of governance.
