Savic also offers an analysis of how and by what means global security priorities have affected Afghan lives.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBojan Savic\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Kent, and Lecturer in Political Science at the Brussels School of International Studies, Brussels, Belgium.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 December 2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI.B.
