ISP Brief August 2021

It's my pleasure to send you the August 2021 edition of the ISP Brief, the monthly newsletter of the CSIS International Security Program. The ISP Brief features CSIS reports and analysis written by our scholars and includes externally published articles, media highlights such as video interviews and podcasts, and links to recent and upcoming virtual events.

As you will see, we focused considerable attention this month on the events in Afghanistan—including the U.S. withdrawal, military takeover by the Taliban, humanitarian situation, and attacks against U.S. forces in Kabul.

I welcome your feedback on this newsletter and its contents at ispoutreach@csis.org. I also invite you to follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook for the very latest on ISP's work.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Seth G. Jones
Senior Vice President
Harold Brown Chair
Director | International Security Program
