Burke Chair on Afghanistan
The Afghanistan effort, headed up by CSIS Arleigh A. Burke Chair holder Anthony H. Cordesman, explores the evolving issue of conflict in Afghanistan and the nature of the U.S. and international effort to create a lasting peace. The project seeks to analyze continuing threats in Afghanistan and to offer insights on the roles of the U.S., NATO, neighboring states, the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and other actors seeking to influence the future shape of the country and region. Focuses of the Afghanistan Project include:

  • The Evolving Nature of the Insurgency
  • The Nature of the Continuing Taliban Threat
  • The Role of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan
  • Afghan Security Force Development
  • The Institutional Aid Effort in Afghanistan
  • Afghan Reconstruction and Development
  • Regional Implications and the Role of Neighboring States
