Resources on Afghanistan and the Central Asia
Region
Scholars from the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute (CACI) at
Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International
Studies (SAIS) published two reports earlier this year that
could serve as useful resources for those interested in
learning more about U.S. relations with Afghanistan and the
Central Asia region. Both publications are available on the
Web at
www.cacianalyst.org.
1. "Strategic Assessment of Central Eurasia"
published by CACI and the Atlantic Council of the United
States at the request of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in
February 2001.
This assessment outlines a basis for U.S. national security
planning related to Central Eurasia over the next 10 years
through analysis of the key threats and challenges to the
region's stability and the conflicting and complementary
interests of the major powers. It also compares alternative
strategies and puts forth a strategic concept for the
region. Authors: S. Frederick Starr and Charles Fairbanks,
CACI; C. Richard Nelson and Kenneth Weisbrode, Atlantic
Council Program on International Security.

2. "Twenty Theses on Afghanistan" prepared on May 18,
2001.
Author: S. Frederick Starr, CACI chairman. Starr offers to
clarify the United States' thinking on relations with
Afghanistan and its neighboring countries.
