This report assesses the interests of the most relevant state and non-state actors
in Afghanistan and Central Asia in the aftermath of the 2014 Afghan presidential
election. It is guided by the premise that the armed conflict in Afghanistan should
be understood as being heavily intertwined with regional politics. Its purpose is
to serve as an overview of the negotiation environment in Afghanistan and
Central Asia. It identifies actors, interests, and relationships that are helpful to
take into consideration when sequencing and orchestrating a peace process that
could de-escalate the war in Afghanistan and help build a more stable and
cooperative region. The majority of the report focuses on relevant actors and
their network of relationships, and the conclusion details three future scenarios
and a set of recommendations that could facilitate a coordinated negotiation
process.
