In his talk, he will discuss the main sources of instability in Afghanistan, as well as how they have overtime developed a vicious circle that is destabilizing the country. Understanding the internal, regional, international, and transnational dimensions of instability in Afghanistan is the key to implementing an effective transitional strategy, which will help the Afghan government and people become the drivers of Afghanistan [0x92] s reconstruction and long-term development. He will make specific recommendations on how to address each of the four challenges facing Afghanistan, while discussing the opportunities that must be exploited and the achievements of the past eight years that must be built upon. Throughout the talk, he will argue that recommitting to success through implementation of an effective and well-resourced transitional strategy in Afghanistan will serve the very national security interests of the United States and its NATO allies in the country with a far-reaching impact on regional stability and international peace and security.
