Description

This issue of PRISM explores contemporary challenges in conflict transformation, state-building, governance, security, and strategic engagement across multiple global contexts. The Features section examines critical issues such as transforming the conflict in Afghanistan, the role of investment and job creation in state-building, and operationalizing anticipatory governance. The issue also addresses Africa’s regional engagement strategies and NATO’s response to hybrid threats.

In From the Field, a case study on the 2009 Malakand operation highlights counterinsurgency’s role in peace-building. The Lessons Learned section critiques the debate surrounding the effectiveness of the Commander’s Emergency Response Program (CERP). There is an interview with General Richard B.
