VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

An Asia Society Policy Institute Event

Across the country, millions of Afghans have cast their ballots to select the next President of Afghanistan. The second round of elections was held on Saturday, June 14, 2014, with two candidates, Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani, seeking to succeed President Hamid Karzai.

While Afghans await the results of the election, the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) is pleased to invite you to an exciting discussion of the next era in Afghan politics, economics and security. Our panel of distinguished experts will explore from different perspectives what Afghans and Americans can expect in each of these areas in the new Afghan administration and with the U.S. military drawdown.

ASPI is also pleased to celebrate the launch of Senior Advisor Hassan Abbas’s new book, The Taliban Revival. Following the event, ASPI and Dr. Abbas will offer a book signing with light refreshments.

Ambassador James F. Dobbins, Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan at the U.S. Department of State

Moderator:
Tom Nagorski, Executive Vice President of Asia Society
