The Provinicial Reconstruction Teams in Afghanistan: An Assessment
From May 14-15, a high-level group of academics, military personnel, and practitioners gathered at Wilfrid Laurier University for a dynamic discussion on the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) projects in Afghanistan. The Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies sponsored the event, with support from the Centre for International Governance Innovation and NATO. Representatives were brought in from Kabul, the Netherlands, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the United Nations and NATO.
Our lead academic, Dr. William Maley from the Austrailian National University, led the discussions which were primarlly focused on operations, particularly best practices and lessons learned. Col Simon Hetherington, who had recently returned from leading the mission in Kandahar, was a keynote speaker along with Mr. Daoud Yaqub who served with the Afghanistan cabinet. LCMSDS also held a public discussion on the evening of May 14, in partnership with the Canadian Insititute for International Affairs (CIIA), with William Maley, Ramesh Thakur, Terry Copp, and Patricia Goff speaking and aswering questions in a panel format. Approximately 140 people were in attendance.
Our report on "The Provinicial Reconstruction Teams in Afghanistan: An Assessment" will be completed in June/July and posted here. Please check back later in the month.
