Afghanistan and Its Neighbors after the NATO Withdrawal by Amin Saikal,Kirill Nourzhanov Pdf
The planned reductions in NATO troop numbers in Afghanistan through 2015 and a final withdrawal at the end of 2016 brings up numerous pressing questions about the security and national interests of not just Afghanistan, but of the broader region itself. The problem of a chaotic Afghanistan—or of an outright Taliban victory—is of great concern to not only immediate neighbors such as Iran, Pakistan, and the former Soviet Central Asian republics to the north, but also to those countries in the region with Afghanistan-related security or economic concerns, such as China and India. Further abroad, Russian, American and European interests and plans for dealing with the fallout from Afghanistan must also be taken into account as these major powers have enduring interests in Afghanistan and the region. This volume puts the prospects for short- and mid-term security dynamics at the core of the analysis, with each case being placed in its proper contemporary historical, economic, and political context. The book will offer a truly comprehensive, nuanced, and timely account of the security situation in and around Afghanistan.
Language Policy and Language Conflict in Afghanistan and Its Neighbors by Harold Schiffman Pdf
The book was co-edited by Brian Spooner, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. Language policy in Central Asia, Afghanistan and the immediately surrounding neighboring countries has a long and varied history. The Iranian revolution of 1978, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan since 2001 have left the area in a state of flux. This volume gives a better picture about what is official and explicit, what is not official but implicit or general practice, and what the likely future developments might be. It is very clear that multilingualism, whether it involves Persian, Russian or English in addition to other languages, not only has long been a part of the scene, but will probably continue to be so.

Central Asia and Its Asian Neighbors by Rollie Lal Pdf
China, Iran, Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan are critical players in the security and economic issues that will determine the future of Central Asia and affect U.S. interests in the region. By assessing the developing relations between Central Asia and its neighbors, it is evident that each country stands to benefit from stability and economic growth in Central Asia, but opinion toward U.S. presence and policy in the region could be a point of conflict.

Partners for Stability by Henning Riecke,Kevin Francke Pdf
Afghanistan's neighbors need to become part of its reconstruction. Countries such as Iran, China, Tadjikistan, as well as Russia and India, have complex interests in the conflict-ridden country and seek to position themselves for the time that will follow the drawdown of the Western presence. Cross border problems like drug trafficking or radical Islamism, as well as rich resources, connect the fate of Afghanistan to that of its neighbors. Pakistan in particular, as a safe haven for the Taliban, is both a partner of Afghanistan and a source of its problems. The regional approach is a crucial element of any future vision for the Hindukush. Allies in the International Security Assistance Force have no strategy on how to win these diverse neighbors as partners, while the decision on withdrawal has already been made. In this edited volume, contributors from the US, Europe, and Central Asia discuss this issue. Special attention is given to the role of NATO and the EU in creating regional pa
The Regional Security Puzzle around Afghanistan by Helena Rytövuori-Apunen Pdf
Western military presence wanes in Afghanistan and a transformed security environment challenges borders and stability in Central Asia. This book examines how the tensions relating to the reorganization of external military presence interact with regional states’ ambitions and challenge the borders already contested by numerous dividing lines. It studies a complex political landscape across which radical Islam connected with international terrorism is feared to spread as the international mission initiated in the wake of the 9/11 attacks winds down.

Iraq, Its Neighbors, and the United States by Henri J. Barkey,Scott Lasensky,Phebe Marr Pdf
"[This book] examines how Iraq's evolving political order affects its complex relationships with its neighbors and the United States. The book depicts a region unbalanced, shaped by new and old tensions, struggling with a classic collective action dilemma, and anxious about Iraq's political future, as well as America's role in the region, all of which suggest trouble ahead absent concerted efforts to promote regional cooperation. In the volume's case studies ... [scholars] review Iraq's bilateral relationships with Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Arab states, Syria, and Jordan and explore how Iraq's neighbors could advance the country's transition to security and stability. The volume also looks at the United States' relations with and long-term strategic interests in Iraq and offers recommendations for how the United States can help Iraq strengthen and grow"--Page 4 of cover.
