Description: Connecting a number of divergent perspectives on the current state of Afghanistan this book outlines the country's past and present instability and how this impacts and is conceptualised by its neighbours as well as by international heavyweights such as Russia China and the United States. Given Afghanistan's extensive cross - border ethnic linguistic sectarian and cultural ties with its neighbours whatever transpires in the war - torn country is bound to have regional and global security implications. This study focuses on the current formal and informal defensive policies the states of Central Asia have in place in the event of the Afghan situation deteriorating further or the Taliban - led insurgency substantially widening their influence. The book also considers the positions and policy responses of three influential actors in the region: Russia China and the United States. It assesses the convergence of interests between these great powers in stabilising Afghanistan and their divergence of geopolitical objectives in the region.
