With barely a year and a half to go, Afghanistan’s neighbours are understandably nervous about what will happen to security and stability in the region after the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) leaves Afghanistan in December 2014.
There is a clear need for cooperative policy approaches based on better understanding of the interests and worries of Afghanistan and its neighbours. SIPRI launched the Wider Central Asia (WCA) initiative in January 2012 with the express purpose of promoting and facilitating dialogue on security in Afghanistan’s neighbourhood. It has brought together experts and officials from Iran, Pakistan and five Central Asian states: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, as well as from Europe and the United States. It has also sought to complement structured dialogues with independent analysis.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which has led ISAF for over a decade, knows that its credibility will be judged by what it leaves behind in
Afghanistan. Equally important is what Afghanistan has left behind of the NATO alliance. From the earliest days of the military intervention in 2001—even before NATO’s involvement—Afghanistan has tested the transatlantic partnership. 

I would like to congratulate transatlantic relations expert Erik Brattberg for this excellent analysis of what Afghanistan has meant for the transatlantic partnership, and its implications for the future. Gratitude is also due to Hans Binnendijk, Melissa Hersh, Josef Janning and Andras Simonyi for their feedback on the paper during its development, and to the numerous regional officials and experts who have contributed to the WCA initiative. I would also like to thank the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, which generously funds the initiative.
Finally, thanks to all those within SIPRI who helped in the development of this report, in particular Dr Neil Melvin, Dr Bruce Koepke, Theresa Höghammar and the SIPRI editors, especially Dr David Prater.
