Trouble in Afghanistan, Trouble in the Neighbourhood?

On November 15, PRIO hosted a seminar on Afghanistan and its neighbouring countries as part of Afghanistan Week 2022. ​

The Taliban have now controlled Afghanistan for over a year, and the relationships between the new rulers and its neighbours are taking shape.​ The level of continuity in the relations between Afghanistan and its neighbours has been striking, as seen in the mounting tensions between the Taliban and its long-time supporter, Pakistan. Furthermore, global shifts – including Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine and China’s steady rise – impacts both Afghanistan and the dynamics within its surrounding regions.

How did the tense neighbourly relations play into the 2021 endgame and the Taliban’s military victory? How do Afghanistan’s neighbours relate to Afghanistan’s new rulers? Can distant powers contribute to aiding Afghans by working with the country’s neighbours?

Speakers

  • Ilaria Carrozza, Senior Researcher, PRIO

  • Kristian Berg Harpviken, Research Professor and Director of the Middle East Centre, PRIO

  • Andrew Watkins, Senior Expert on Afghanistan, U.S. Institute of Peace

  • Masood Karokhail

The event was chaired by Arne Strand.
