LUCIR: Lessons from Afghanistan: international conference hosted by LUCIR, ISGA and GTGC | 3 December 2021

by Leiden University - Center for International Relations

Dear colleagues, You’re cordially invited to attend: *Lessons from Afghanistan: international conference hosted by LUCIR, ISGA and GTGC* Date: Friday 3 December 2021 Time: 08:45 - 17:15 CET (GMT+1) Locatio: Online https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/events/2021/12/lucir-conference-less... A comprehensive exchange about military and political intervention in the region After two decades of post-9/11 Western and international engagement in Afghanistan, foreign military troops withdrew in August 2021 and left behind many Afghans who are now facing an uncertain future under the re-installed Taliban regime. This moment calls for a reflection on what the lessons from Afghanistan mean for the future of the theory and policy practice of core issues related to war, peace and justice. During this one-day conference, we are bringing together scholars, civil society representatives, and policy makers to contribute to a comprehensive exchange about military and political intervention in the region, from the perspectives of Afghanistan and its neighbor countries, and from Europe. Contributions critically discuss the impact of foreign interventions on regional security, human rights, and statebuilding, and the past and future of European approaches to security abroad. The conference is organized jointly by LUCIR (Leiden University’s Centre for International Relations), ISGA (Institute of Security and Global Affairs) and GTGC (Global Transformations and Global Challenges Initiative), all at Leiden University, The Netherlands. The conference is open to the public.
