Towards 2014 and Beyond: NATO, Afghanistan and the “Heart of Asia”
This brief addresses the two visions shaping the political landscape in Afghanistan. In one vision, Afghanistan's security is anchored in an 'enduring partnership' with NATO. In the other, the country's security and development are anchored in a regional web of cooperation among its 'near and extended neighbors.' For Norway,a committed NATO ally and active supporter of Afghanistan's development, the incompatibles between the two visions raise potentially difficult dilemmas and trade-offs.
