Zusammenfassung

Die unterschiedlichen strategischen Interessen der Nachbarstaaten bergen die Gefahr, dass Afghanistan nach dem Abzug der internationalen Staatengemeinschaft zum Schauplatz regionaler Konflikte wird. Im Zentrum steht die Rolle Pakistans, das seit Ende der achtziger Jahre seine Interessen in Afghanistan mit dem Konflikt gegenüber Indien verknüpft hat. Die divergierenden nationalen Interessen, die unzureichende wirtschaftliche Komplementarität sowie die institutionelle Schwäche der Regionalorganisationen markieren die Grenzen einer regionalen Lösung. Vor diesem Hintergrund sollte die westliche Staatengemeinschaft eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit mit den verschiedenen Nachbarn Afghanistans anstreben, um die Probleme, die sich aus dem Konflikt ergeben, z. B. Drogenhandel und Flüchtlingsbewegungen, zu bekämpfen. Damit können auch vertrauensbildende Maßnahmen gefördert werden.

Abstract

The different strategic interests of the neighbouring countries include the risk that Afghanistan may turn into a theatre of regional rivalries after the withdrawal of the international community. Pakistan, which has linked its conflict with India with Afghanistan since the late 1980s, plays the most important role. The diverging national interests, the lack of economic complementarity and the institutional weakness of regional organisations designate the limits of a regional solution. The western community should therefore seek stronger bilateral cooperation with the different neighbours in order to deal with common challenges like refugees and drug trafficking. This should also help to foster confidence building measures.
