Global Security Forum 2012: Toward 2014: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the U.S. Role in the Region

Follow @CSIS_org on Twitter #GSF2012.

The Global Security Forum 2012 is a forum on the top challenges facing U.S. and global security. Afghanistan and Pakistan both face the potential for even greater violence and instability in the coming years, especially as the United States draws down its forces between now and 2014. This panel considers the most important risks and U.S. interests in the region, and what the United States can do to contribute to stability.
