Prospect Magazine  |  October 2021
In Prospect's October issue: Afghanistan has fallen to the Taliban. In the aftermath Anatol Lieven argues that, after 20 years in the country, intervention was ultimately always doomed to fail—and that sets a dangerous precedent for western influence in other parts of the world. With the focus back on the rights of women in the country, Jessica Abrahams asks what a genuine feminist foreign policy might look like. Elsewhere, with the Greens entering government in Scotland for the first time anywhere in the UK, Andrew Gamble asks: might the Green Party be the new progressive force in left wing politics? Miranda France examines the darkness visible in a new retrospective of works by Portuguese artist Paula Rego, and Freya Johnston reviews Sally Rooney’s highly anticipated third novel. Plus: the winner of this year’s Top Thinkers Award is revealed.
