    Debate on 14 March: Afghanistan’s Regional Relationships

    Monday, 11 March, 2013

    Afghanistan lies at the heart of Central Asia.

This Note explores those relationships in the context of Afghanistan’s current security, political and economic situation, focusing particularly on key actors such as Pakistan and efforts to encourage dialogue and co-operation, and examines the potential impact of these regional dynamics on Afghanistan’s future stability and prosperity.
