With Islamic fundamentalist militants destabilizing much of Afghanistan and Pakistan, the international community has intensified its focus on the region. Recognizing the broader international importance of the region's stability, and the difficulties in addressing it, this issue of the Journal of International Affairs explores conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan from a variety of angles. Covering topics from security concerns to regional perspectives to local attitudes toward militancy, our contributors highlight the region's brimming tensions and, more importantly, future possibilities for sustainable peace and security.
