Barnett Rubin: What will Happen to Afghanistan After the NATO Forces Leave?

Co-presented by SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement, Indian Summer Festival and SFU's School for International Studies. Canada played a leading role in the NATO deployment in southern Afghanistan for over ten years. With the end of that operation in December 2014, what will become of that country, in which Canada and its NATO allies have invested so much? New York University scholar Barnett R. Rubin, who has worked on Afghanistan for both the United Nations and the United States government, presents his analysis, based on decades of first-hand experience. Moderated by Charlie Smith, editor of the Georgia Straight.
