Caption title. Abstract: In this article, Thomas Rutting attempts to draw a balance of the twelve years of the US/NATO-led intervention in Afghanistan. Looking at the security situation, the state of the insurgency, achievements and shortcomings in reconstruction, the economy and institution building and at the often-overlooked social situation of the population. He concludes that after more than 30 years of war, Afghanistan is still in the midst of crisis, without a Westfalian Peace, as after 30 years of war in 16th century Europe to which the situation in Afghanistan is often compared, in sight.
