Last year, Pathways to Change – Pakistan Policy Symposium, a two-day event jointly organized by the Wilson Center and INDUS, convened expert scholars, academics, and practitioners from the United States and Pakistan to explore Pakistan’s recent achievements in economic, political, and foreign affairs as well as its opportunities to address current and future challenges. Speakers and panelists focused on identifying practical, innovative, and above all actionable policy solutions. The following series of policy briefs, which draw on discussions from the symposium, will be of interest to the academic and scholarly communities; diaspora audiences; business and policy circles; and any general audiences interested in Pakistan, U.S.- Pakistan relations, or international relations on the whole.

Siniša  Vuković was asked to write this essay in order to get an outside expert’s perspective of the conflict between the U.S and Afghanistan. He argues that all parties, “in their own way aware that outright military victory is unattainable, appear to be looking for a face-saving way out of this predicament through a negotiated solution.”
