Afghanistan and Pakistan - recommended reading

Complementary to the work developed by FRIDE researchers and external collaborators, FRIDE has identified a series of relevant documents and links that explore some of the challenges facing Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The topics in these documents range from the development goals of the Afghan government to NATO’s counter-insurgency strategy. They come from various different sources, governmental and non-governmental, national and international.

FRIDE recommends these sources as a non-exhaustive guide to learning more about Afghanistan.
