Abstract
The current stage of the United States (U.S.)/International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF) campaign in Afghanistan can be characterized as driven by the promotion of “localization,” which at the same time implies “regionalization.” This strategy is thus a twofold process. One, transfer all responsibility for stability, security and state-building to the Afghans. Two, engage neighboring countries more actively in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. Among these neighbors, the three Central Asian states — Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan — on its northern border are important actors within this strategy.KeywordsRegional SecurityAsian Development BankNorth Atlantic Treaty OrganizationShanghai Cooperation OrganizationCentral Asian RepublicThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
