摘要

From which practices does knowledge about foreign policy intervention contexts emerge in Germany? We present a study that systematically examines knowledge production in Germany on Afghanistan for the period of the intervention. For this purpose, we use a specially compiled new database comprising 133 Afghanistan experts from Germany. To analyze the database, we use a praxeological approach to make knowledge production visible; we specify it through the concept of circulation. In doing so, we further develop the literature on the relationship between science and politics as well as the research on knowledge production in interventions. Our core arguments are that (1) foreign policy knowledge on Afghanistan in Germany could in principle circulate between academia, think tanks, and politics, i.e., the flow of scientific and expert knowledge into politics is not systemically impossible, but (2) knowledge production and circulation are structured in a way that restricts the quality of knowledge and its communication.
