This article seeks to fill the current conceptual gap by identifying the fundamentals of stability, conceptualizing the role of PRTs in delivering stability at the provincial level, identifying the activities that PRTs should be conducting to deliver stability, and setting out the PRT exit strategy. While the focus here is on Afghanistan, the conceptual approach is one that could be applied to other contexts in which the international community is engaged in stabilization and where the level of violence is such that other agencies cannot operate as per normal.

Afghanistan's loya jirga, or grand assembly, meets this month to discuss the country's future. The key issues will be constitutional & include the creation of a new, permanent state to replace the Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan. But these gatherings are as important for their off-table discussions, & a prime issue will be how to tackle the country's continuing role as a global supplier of opiates. Caught up in worldwide supply routes, Russia & Central Asian states will be watching closely. Adapted from the source document.

The capture of power by the Taliban in Afghanistan has changed the regional landscape and created new concerns. Some of them are related to a possibility of strengthening of transnational terrorist organizations in the country. Others are generated by the fear of radical Islamism spreading in the guise of the Taliban or others of its ilk. Meanwhile, various radical Islamist organizations in Afghanistan that resort to "hard power" (armed violence, terrorist methods, etc.) in their practices are destabilizing the situation both in the country and in Asia in general. The conflict potential in Afghani-Pakistani relations is largely stimulated by the activities of the extremist organization Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan. Other threats to the regional peaceful development come from the terrorist group of Islamic State of Khorasan, which was rooted in ISIS in the Middle East. As for the post-Soviet states of Central Asia, they attract great interest of various radical Islamist factions shaped by Tajiks, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Uighurs and affiliated with different transnational terrorist entities operating in Afghanistan, such as Al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc. Their destructive activities necessitate the need for the counter-terrorist action in the region with the aim of preventing Afghanistan and Asia in general from turning into a new hotbed of instability. It would be reasonable to assume that Afghanistan, painfully traumatized by decades of internal feuds and the US military occupation, has fallen under control of the Taliban for a long time. A favorable scenario would imply achieving a sustainable consensus within the country, which will create conditions for successful economic and political cooperation between Afghanistan, Russia, China and other major actors in the future. If radical Islamists or other forces succeed in disrupting the process of Afghanistan post-conflict reconstruction, this will highly aggravate regional disbalances in Asia.

NATO's engagement in Afghanistan has finished the debate about whether NATO should operate beyond the Euro-Atlantic area and has impacted significantly on NATO's military transformation. Afghanistan has given NATO the opportunity to organize the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), test and refine NATO's new command and force structures, and has kept the NATO Response Force on track for full operational capability in 2006.

In recent years, Afghanistan has experienced sustained political instability that is rooted in a relatively low level of modern nation-state building. The traditional tribal and Islamic conservationists are too powerful and restrict the process of nation-state building in Afghanistan. The logic behind a traditional tribal society and a modern nation-state is different, and their power has inherent contradictions in terms of attributes, vectors, and fields of action. The religious conservative tendency fetters the modernization of Afghanistan in different aspects, and the absolute religious right negates national power in concept. In reality, the localization of teaching law eliminates national ability, and fundamentalism stifles the vitality of society. The tribal and religious policies of the new Taliban government will shape the future of Afghanistan politics.
