Abstract

The leading journalist on Pakistan lays out America's options with Pakistan and Afghanistan in the post-Bin Laden years.What are the possibilities-and hazards-facing America as it withdraws from Afghanistan and as it reviews its long engagement in Pakistan ? Where is the Taliban now in both these countries ? What does the immediate future hold and what are America's choices as President Obama considers our complicated history and faces reelection ?These are some of the crucial questions that Ahmed Rashid- Pakistan's preeminent journalist-takes on in this follow-up to his acclaimed Descent into Chaos. Rashid correctly predicted that the Iraq war would have to be refocused into Afghanistan and that Pakistan would emerge as the leading player through which American interests and actions would have to be directed. Now, as Washington and the rest of the West wrestle with negotiating with unreliable and unstable "allies" in Pakistan, there is no better guide to the dark future than Ahmed Rashid.He focuses on the long-term problems-the changing casts of characters, the future of international terrorism, and the actual policies and strategies both within Pakistan and Afghanistan and among the Western allies-as the world tries to bring some stability to a fractured region saddled with a legacy of violence and corruption. The decisions made by America and the West will affect the security and safety of the world. And as he has done so well in the past, Rashid offers sensible solutions and provides a way forward for all three countries.Bron : http://www.amazon.com

Abstract

Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Ouzbékistan, Tadjikistan et Turkménistan : telle est la nouvelle focalisation d’Ahmed Rashid, auteur de l’Ombre des taliban et spécialiste mondialement reconnu de l’Asie centrale qu’il parcourt et analyse depuis plus de vingt ans. L’auteur a rencontré entre 1988 et 2001 les principaux acteurs – hommes politiques, chefs militaires et opposants – de ces cinq républiques turbulentes, largement ignorées en Occident jusqu’à aujourd’hui, il en dresse un portrait précis et alarmant. Après l’Afghanistan “ redécouverte ” brutalement, c’est un nouveau champ de guerres potentiel que nous décrit Ahmed Rashid, en analysant l’histoire de ces terres concurrentes confrontées à la montée d’un islam radical. Certaines de ces républiques possèdent des stocks d’armes nucléaires hérités de l’URSS, des ressources énergétiques importantes au cœur des stratégies politico-financières de la Russie, de la Chine et des États-Unis. Une fois encore, les volcans ne sont pas éteints et cette zone géographique peut bousculer l’équilibre mondial.

Abstract

Rashid examines the region and the corridors of power in Washington and Europe to see how the promised nation building in these countries has progressed. His conclusions are devastating: an unstable and nuclear-armed Pakistan, a renewed al Qaeda profiting from a booming opium trade, and a Taliban resurgence and reconquest. While Iraq continues to attract most of American media and military might, Rashid argues that Pakistan and Afghanistan are where the conflict will finally be played out and that these failing states pose a graver threat to global security than the Middle East.--From publisher description.
