500			_aSummary: “Growing recognition that the Afghan insurgency has learned to exploit government deficiencies has refocused attention on the importance of local governance. Despite this, the relationship between Afghan communities and their local representatives is poorly understood. Currently, provincial council members and members of the Wolesi Jirga, the only officials elected in sub-national elections, serve as one of the few links between local communities and the national government. As such, there is significant debate and competition within communities between various tribes, ethnic groups and blocs of voters over who their representatives should be and what role they should play. In light of the 2010 Wolesi Jirga election, this paper takes a closer look at ways in which members of parliament (MPs) ft into these political systems on a local level and questions the relationship between elections and stability in Afghanistan”—(p. 1).
