Kristian Berg Harpviken presents a framework for understanding how people's networks are essential for their responses to war and disaster.People b2 ss network resources are crucial for mobilizing or maintaining physical resources, for their security, and for the gathering of information. Applying this framework to the analysis of wartime migration,the book challenges one-dimensional victimimages of wartime migrants,emphasizing the importance of agency and network resources in respondingto unpredictable social environments. The book's systematic application of a network analytical perspective, building on mechanisms developed through studies in other areas (particularly economic andorganizational sociology) is unique. This analytical bridge-building brings new insights to the study of responses to armed conflict, where there has previously only been loose debate on whether social networks fragment or gain strength in the face of war. Discussing migration throughout threedecades of war in Afghanistan, the book is based on original fieldworkduring the period of the Taliban b2 ss domination of Afghanistan, focusing on two villages in one of the country b2 ss most severely war-stricken areas.
