Afghanistan after the Western DrawdownThe global and regional security landscapes will change dramatically following the Western drawdown in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda, the Afghan Taliban, and their allies are poised to return to Afghanistan and the Mujahidin in Pakistan may once again draw the support of pools of fighters. Experts from the countries discussed explain the post-2014 key strategic decisions that face policymakers in Afghanistan, the United States, and the region. They provide a road map for the strategy outlined along with predictive analysis, paying particular attention to the U.S.-Afghanistan Bilateral Security Agreement as well as reconciliation talks with the Afghan Taliban.ISBN: 9781442245051, 1442245050
