Post-2014 Afghanistan: The US Military Exit and Political Stability
25 April, 2014 @ 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
With Dr. Timor Sharan
This talk will provide an Afghan perspective of what U.S. military withdrawal will mean for political stability and state survival post-2014. The 2001 international intervention, created a ‘network state’ whereby state and political networks became partners in state building. This has produced a state that is underpinned by informal power structures. A successful international military exit from Afghanistan will depend on the stability of these informal networks in addition to the strength of Afghan National Security Forces and reconciliation with the Taliban. This talk will also address the recent presidential election in Afghanistan.
