Geopolitics

The Geopolitics section of Afghan Eye offers rigorous, impartial analysis of Afghanistan’s strategic positioning within South-Central Asia and beyond. From the manoeuvres of global powers to the subtle recalibrations of regional actors such as Pakistan, Iran, China and India, this page dissects the intersecting forces shaping Afghan sovereignty, diplomacy and internal cohesion. Articles prioritise Afghan perspectives, contextualise historical legacies—from the Anglo-Afghan wars to the 2021 withdrawal—and interrogate contemporary alliances, rivalries and dependencies. Whether assessing the Emirate’s foreign policy or Belt and Road implications, our coverage aims to inform policymakers, scholars and globally engaged readers alike.
