Summary:As 2004 began, Afghanistan approved a new constitution that represents a key step forward in its political reconstruction. Rubin details the process on how the new constitution was drafted and discusses its goals. He opines that realization of the new constitution's stated goals still depend on efforts beyond its scope, such as demobilizing militias and eradicating the drug trade and other illicit activities that accounted for more than a third of the Afghan economy.
