The threat posed by Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan

Meer over het boek

The dissertation examines the threats posed by al Qaeda in Afghanistan, arguing that stabilizing the country is essential for addressing the group's influence. It posits that al Qaeda's ideology has gained prominence over its capacity for conventional terrorism, with its goal of instigating change within the Muslim world overshadowing its direct threat. The author contends that the U.S.-led invasion has weakened al Qaeda but failed to stabilize Afghanistan, highlighting the need for a long-term international commitment and a shift in focus from military action to combating extremist ideology.
