Content: This issue of Futuribles explores the complexity of the situation in Afghanistan and highlights, alongside the macro-problems of the policies of global powers and local powers, especially the problems and difficulties in transforming and modernizing the civil society of the many Afghans that exist in Afghanistan. The contributions are divided into three parts. The first group deals with macro, global, and regional aspects: strategies of major powers, new social actors, oil deals, new leaders (G. Picco); the big game (M. Piacentini); frontier tribal areas (N. Gasparini), the relationship with Central Asian countries (I. Damiani) and the Lebanon model (M. Lussi). The second part deals with civil society, daily life and communication: close relationship with Afghan people (N. Rinaldi), with women’s health (G. Mezzabotta), with women’s veil (A. Baghai), with the mass communication system (A. Romoli), with jirga and informal justice (A.L. Palmisano), with the Afghan constitution (D. Coccopalmerio). Finally, the third part addresses the future, which may result from the crisis of the civil option in the Afghan swamp (E. Giordana).
