An Alumni Regional Security Conversation – in collaboration with our Central Asia & Afghanistan GCSP Alumni Community Hub

While the current situation in Afghanistan may represent both an opportunity and a threat, the Taliban takeover changed the general security landscape in the region by bringing new security concerns, demanding for more dynamic joint efforts. The five Central Asian countries have been struggling with internal long-standing and emerging security challenges. What is the current situation?
