This book examines how Provincial Reconstruction Teams sought to stabilise Afghanistan's provinces by combining security operations with reconstruction and development initiatives during 2002-2015.

Drawing on extensive academic and policy literature, as well as interviews with practitioners and officials from NATO member states, the volume reveals how each nation adapted the security-development nexus to its own priorities, with varying results. The book bridges theory and practice, showing how development strategies often faltered in high-risk environments and how rigid military structures struggled to support civilian goals. It also proposes a new analytical framework embedded in the theoretical manifestation of the security-development nexus for studying civil-military missions, offering lessons that remain vital for today's peacebuilding and crisis management operations. Through rich case studies and clear insights, the book ultimately challenges one-size-fits-all approaches to reconstruction and demonstrates why understanding the balance between security and development is key to rebuilding societies after conflict.
