Summary
Following uneven progress since the downfall of the Taliban regime in 2001, Afghanistan faces its upcoming security and political transition with an encouraging economic performance but serious governance challenges. This report systematically compares Afghanistan's experience with those of other countries that have emerged from conflict to bring out patterns and possible lessons that can inform thinking, analysis, and policy for Afghanistan's current transition and beyond.
