Description
This issue of PRISM critically examines the evolving landscape of counterinsurgency, stabilization, and security cooperation in the wake of the Afghanistan conflict. The Features section explores the crisis facing counterinsurgency doctrine, the challenges of negotiating a settlement in Afghanistan, and the limitations of U.S. stabilization and reconstruction efforts. Articles on indirect military approaches, nation-building, and the absence of a "Marshall Plan" for the Middle East offer diverse perspectives on state resilience and post-conflict recovery.
Further analysis delves into the role of military engagement in Sub-Saharan Africa and enduring military-to-military partnerships during the Arab Spring. From the Field provides a case study on the conflict in Bala Morghab, while Lessons Learned examines Iraq’s civil-military capacity-building efforts from 2007 to 2010. The issue concludes with a book review of Weak Links: Fragile States, Global Threats, and International Security.
