Assessments And Developments In The Security And Stability Of Afghanistan

Following two high-level policy reviews on Afghanistan in 2009, the Obama Administration asserts that it is pursuing a well-resourced and integrated military-civilian strategy intended to pave the way for a gradual transition to Afghan security leadership beginning in July 2011. The policy is intended to ensure that Afghanistan will not again become a base for terrorist attacks against the United States. This book explores and assesses the developments of the security and stability of the Afghanistan regime with a focus on post-Taliban governance, security and U.S. policy.

After the attacks of 9/11, the U.S. and our international partners toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, ending years of brutal misrule and denying al Qaeda a safe haven from which to launch its attacks. The U.S. strategic goals remain that Afghanistan is: (1) a reliable, stable ally in the War on Terror; (2) moderate and democratic, with a thriving private sector economy; (3) capable of governing its territory and borders; and (4) respectful of the rights of all its citizens. Achieving these goals requires the application of a whole-of-government approach, along multiple lines of operation, including security, governance, and development. This report describes both the progress we are making in achieving our national objectives, and the challenges we continue to face.
