The problem of Afghanistan has become a key issue in the dialogue between Russia and NATO. The NATO-Russian dialogue on Afghanistan has also caught its neighbours in the negociations. During the seminar we would like to address the following questions:
- What factors determine Russian and NATO policy on Afghanistan?
- How has Russia"s and NATO's policies evolved, and what are their effects?
- What will be the effect of NATO's withdrawal on Russia, Afghanistan and the Central Asian neighbours?
We will be live-tweeting the debate at @IfriBxl.
