Relations between Afghanistan and Central Asian states after 2014:
Incentives, Constraints and Prospects SIPRI is pleased to announce the publication of Relations between Afghanistan and Central Asian states after 2014: Incentives, Constraints and Prospects.
All Central Asian states are concerned about the potential spillover of insecurity from Afghanistan. The impending withdrawal of international forces is seen as potentially leading to destabilization, with negative consequences for the region. This report explores the commonalities and differences in the policies of Central Asian states toward Afghanistan. The author argues that the Soviet-era isolation of Central Asian states from their traditional neighbours has been broken, and that opportunities for business, educational and people-to-people links will only increase.
This is the fourth and final report published under the Wider Central Asia Initiative, a two-year SIPRI project to promote and facilitate dialogue among the main external stakeholders in Afghanistan's future. A particular focus of the initiative is how regional security can be strengthened or developed through formal institutions and informal mechanisms to address existing and emerging security challenges.
The initiative, which has been funded by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, has brought together experts and officials from Iran, Pakistan and five Central Asian states—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan—as well as from Afghanistan, China, Europe and the United States, in a series of structured dialogues.
