Afghanistan today faces an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, looming threat of a civil war and a resurgence of violent extremism organizations similar to pre-9/11. As the U.S. enters a new era in the strategic geopolitical Great Power Competition, an analysis of the original mission intent, shifting policy and strategic objectives, and ineffective implementation of security, political and economic programs reveal critical lessons and questions such as: What led to the strategic failure of the U.S. in Afghanistan? What decisions resulted in the present-day humanitarian, civil, and political crises in Afghanistan? Were these consequences in fact avoidable? Was there an alternative approach that could have maintained the hard-fought gains of the last two decades, and better demonstrated America's standing as a defender of global human rights? Lessons Learned from Afghanistan: Americas Longest War further explores lessons of the past negotiations between the United States, Taliban, and former U.S. backed Afghan government to suggest alternative pathways that honor the original intent of the mission and meet present-day obligations to an Afghan nation in crisis. 001467791 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001467791 650_0 $$aAfghan War, 2001-2021. 001467791 650_0 $$aAfghan War, 2001-2021$$zUnited States. 001467791 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$zAfghanistan. 001467791 651_0 $$aAfghanistan$$xForeign relations$$zUnited States. 001467791 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001467791 7001_ $$aFarhadi, Adib,$$d1972- 001467791 7001_ $$aMasys, Anthony. 001467791 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFarhadi, Adib$$tThe Great Power Competition Volume 4$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031229336 001467791 852__ $$bebk 001467791 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-22934-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001467791 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1467791$$pGLOBAL_SET 001467791 980__ $$aBIB 001467791 980__ $$aEBOOK 001467791 982__ $$aEbook 001467791 983__ $$aOnline 001467791 994__ $$a92$$bISE
