Three aspects symbolize the state of affairs in and around Afghanistan in 2018: the fragmentation of domestic political actors, the increasing desecuritization of rhetoric with respect to Afghanistan by neighboring countries, and the diversification of Afghanistan’s global partners. While the US strategy showed signs of stalling amid increasing violence and the fragmentation of local actors, there are changes in the attitude of neighboring states.

2018年的阿富汗

三个方面象征着 2018 年阿富汗内外的事态：国内政治行为体的分裂、邻国对阿富汗言论的日益去安全化以及阿富汗全球合作伙伴的多元化。虽然美国的战略在暴力加剧和当地行为体分裂的情况下出现停滞迹象，但邻国的态度发生了变化。
