Abstract
In August, Taliban forces rapidly took control of virtually all of Afghanistan following the United States military withdrawal. The domestic changes in Afghanistan are affecting the geopolitical shift in Central Asia, and have also aroused great concern from major countries in the world. This lecture will discuss what it would take to ‘fix’ Afghanistan – from the new leadership and from the international community. And what ‘fixing’ Afghanistan would mean for Eurasia.
