DESCRIPTION:Sharif Hozoori\, IIE-SRF fellow and visiting scholar at the Mar
 io Einaudi Center for International Studies' South Asia Program will discu
 ss his research about the failure of liberal democracy in Afghanistan due 
 to the ruling elite's overt ethnocentrism. \n\nEthnocentrism has been pres
 ent throughout Afghanistan's political history\, but it peaked during Pres
 ident Ashraf Ghani's tenure after the establishment of a democratic regime
  in 2001. Ghani enacted policies that concentrated power around three indi
 viduals: himself\, the national security advisor\, and the Director Genera
 l of the administrative office of the President\, essentially creating a "
 Republic of Three Persons" or a "sinister triangle" in Afghanistan. These 
 actions had a profoundly catastrophic effect on the evolution of democrati
 c governance in the country. \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nSharif Hozoori holds
  a Ph.D. in International Relations from the Center for International Poli
 tics\, Organization\, and Disarmament in the School of International Studi
 es at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. He was a professor of Inte
 rnational Relations and taught both undergraduate and graduate students in
  Afghanistan before leaving the country after the Taliban takeover in Augu
 st 2021. Currently\, he is an IIE-SRF fellow and visiting scholar at the E
