Recovering the Frontier State is written by Rasul Bux Rais and published by Lexington Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0739109561 (ISBN 10) and 9780739109564 (ISBN 13).

The book explores how legacies of internal strife and foreign invasions have altered the balance of social and political forces that provided some measure of stability to Afghanistan. The country faces structural constraints in the way of reviving itself owing to ethnic fragmentation, Taliban insurgency, and shallow social roots of political power. The central argument is that Afghanistan needs positive international engagement to find a new balance among its fractious social groups and build effective state and nationhood.
