Krakowski sets out, in short form, a solution for what has become America's longest war. Dr. Elie Krakowski is a senior fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council. He is also a senior fellow at the Central Asia and Caucasus Institute at Johns Hopkins University. And in his spare time, he is the president of EDK Consulting. Dr. Krakowski is a veteran expert on Afghanistan, during the Reagan Administration he served as a Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy. He was specializing in low-intensity conflict issues, especially in Afghanistan. Following that, he went up to Boston University where he was a professor of international relations and law from 1988 to 1996. He has lectured widely and testified before Congress on the conflict in Afghanistan and returned from the region last summer, not only from Afghanistan, where he met with Ahmed Shah Massoud, the martyred leader of the United Front, but also Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan. He has also had extensive discussions with diplomatic representatives of Russia, India, and China on the subject of Afghanistan. AFPC Senior Fellow Dr. Elie Krakowski is now completing a year-long project on American policy options in Afghanistan. Dr. Krakowski's analysis explores problems facing the U.S. in the course of our war on terrorism. These include the prospect of mounting regional instability and the possible breakup of Pakistan as a nation. Dr. Krakowski's research involved extensive travel to most countries sharing borders with Afghanistan, including China, India, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. While in the region, Krakowski was able to interview senior officials and others with influence, including the late Ahmed Shah Masood, Commander of the Northern Alliance/United Front, and senior members of Afghanistan's Taliban regime. Preliminary findings of this timely study are already being circulated among the highest levels of the administration and, in abbreviated form, have appeared in both print and broadcast media. Krakowski's findings are expected to appear for public consumption in a major academic journal.…

Trade paperback. Condizione: Good. No DJ issued. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 59, [5] pages. Footnotes. Ink marks to text noted. This is a product of the Silk Road Studies Program. Niklas Nilsson is a Senior Research Fellow with the Joint Center. He holds a Ph.D. Degree in Government from Uppsala University, and is a Senior Lecturer at the Swedish Defence University. He has published extensively on international politics, security, and conflict in the Caucasus and the post-Soviet space. His Ph.D. Dissertation was entitled Beacon of Liberty: Role Conceptions, Crises and Stability in Georgia?s Foreign Policy, 2004-2012. Georgia stands out as a particularly important case study of Russia?s deployment of hybrid tactics. The country?s longstanding conflict with Russia has over the years made it a target of the full spectrum of hybrid tactics that Russia currently deploys in Ukraine and elsewhere. In fact, Georgia can be said to have functioned as a testing ground for many of these tactics, making Georgia?s experience relevant far beyond the confined regional context. The case of Georgia also serves to demonstrate how the vulnerability of regional states connects closely with the sustainability and credibility of Western engagement with these countries. For long, besides the Baltic States, Georgia has remained the post-Soviet country that displays the most unambiguous political and public support for pursuing Euro-Atlantic integration and departing from Russian influence. Yet the message that Russia seeks to convey to the Georgian government and public, through a combined demonstration of military might and economic prospects, is that the potential rewards of pursuing integration with the West ? either through NATO or the EU ? are not worth the sacrifices involved in terms of either security or economic adaptation. With regard to both organizations, Georgia has undertaken demanding processes to conform to military, economic and governance standards, whereas the perspective of membership in either NATO or the EU has failed to materialize. In turn, this means that the ultimate rewards for these adaptation processes ? security guarantees under NATO?s article 5 and full access to the EU?s single market ? remain distant and largely unrealistic prospects for Georgia. This reality has slowly dawned on an increasing portion of the Georgian population ? and voters ? of which a steadily growing minority now expresses skepticism towards their country?s longstanding pursuit of Euro-Atlantic integration. This view is reinforced by pro-Russian political parties and NGOs, as well as a range of alternative media, all increasingly active in Georgia since 2012. The common message of these actors is that they denounce the attempt to make Georgia a member of the Western liberal order as damaging both to Georgia?s security, due to the conflict with Russia that it implies, and to the traditional cultural foundation of Georgian society. Instead, they argue, Georgia should pursue neutrality in its foreign policy and develop economic relationships both westward and northward. This vision remains utterly unrealistic ? Georgia would hardly gain room for maneuver in its foreign policy by claiming neutrality; this would in fact close off the source of support that has up until now allowed it to limit Russian influence in Georgia. Yet it is becoming increasingly attractive to the segment of the Georgian population most affected by the deep structural problems of Georgia?s economy and the country?s ongoing economic crisis, and a larger proportion of the public that has long been disillusioned with the continuous and unproductive infighting among the country?s political elite. Georgia?s vulnerability to Russian pressure in the different spheres outlined above should not be exaggerated.…
