    Making Sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: a Social Movement Perspective

    \ WORKING PAPER 6\ 2017 Making sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: A social movement perspective Katja Mielke \ BICC Nick Miszak \ TLO Joint publication by \ WORKING PAPER 6 \ 2017 MAKING SENSE OF DAESH IN AFGHANISTAN: A SOCIAL MOVEMENT PERSPECTIVE \ K. MIELKE & N. MISZAK SUMMARY So-called Islamic State (IS or Daesh) in Iraq and Syria is widely interpreted as a terrorist phenomenon. The proclamation in late January 2015 of a Wilayat Kho- rasan, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan, as an IS branch is commonly interpreted as a manifestation of Daesh's global ambition to erect an Islamic caliphate. Its expansion implies hierarchical order, command structures and financial flows as well as a transnational mobility of fighters, arms and recruits between Syria and Iraq, on the one hand, and Afghanistan–Pakistan, on the other. In this Working Paper, we take a (new) social movement perspective to investigate the processes and underlying dynamics of Daesh’s emergence in different parts of the country. By employing social movement concepts, such as opportunity structures, coalition-building, resource mobilization and framing, we disentangle the different types of resource mobilization and long-term conflicts that have merged into the phenomenon of Daesh in Afghanistan. In dialogue with other approaches to terrorism studies as well as peace, civil war and security studies, our analysis focuses on relations and interactions among various actors in the Afghan-Pakistan region and their translocal networks. The insight builds on a ten-month fieldwork-based research project conducted in four regions—east, west, north-east and north Afghanistan—during 2016. We find that Daesh in Afghanistan is a context-specific phenomenon that manifests differently in the various regions across the country and is embedded in a long- term transformation of the religious, cultural and political landscape in the cross-border region of Afghanistan–Pakistan.

    THE ENDGAME in AFGHANISTAN: the Mcchrystal PLAN and ITS IMPACT on PAKISTAN’S SECURITY

    Reflections No. 2, 2010 THE ENDGAME IN AFGHANISTAN: THE McCHRYSTAL PLAN AND ITS IMPACT ON PAKISTAN’S SECURITY Simbal Khan * The fog of war not only clouds the sky over Marjah, the dusty town in Helmand where 15,000 U.S./NATO troop are battling the Taliban. What is also shrouded in mystery is the shape of the things to come, as the endgame in Afghanistan approaches. There is a broad consensus among most analysts that the eight-year war in Afghanistan is in the process of moving towards its logical end; yet, what shape this process would eventually take, still remains obscured by the dizzying speed of events. There is nevertheless an across-the-board agreement regarding the following two points. First, the war in Afghanistan is poised at a critical juncture today. Secondly, the direction and thrust of the international effort in Afghanistan is predicated, at the moment, on the policy options confronting the Obama administration. On December 1, 2009, President Obama, in a speech at the West Point Military Academy, outlined his strategy for Afghanistan, curiously titled “The way forward in Afghanistan and Pakistan.”1 The strategy announcement culminated a three-month-long painstaking review process. President Obama alluded to this difficult process several times during the speech: “This review is now complete. And as Commander-in-Chief, I have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan.”2 However, more than the widely expected troop surge, it was the following announcement which caused a great stir within Afghanistan and among U.S.
