2010 CAMDEN CONFERENCE

Afghanistan, Pakistan, India: Crossroads of Conflict

February 19-21, 2010

The 23rd annual Camden Conference focused on Afghanistan, Pakistan and India – an area termed the most challenging in the world by many 2009 conference speakers. No assessment or understanding of the situation in Afghanistan can be separated from attention to critical factors and developments in neighboring Pakistan which in turn leads to a focus upon the complex and volatile relations between Pakistan and India. The February 2010 conference offered both specific and overview presentations devoted to the broad array of issues raised within this turbulent region as well as the role of U.S. policies and programs in this “crossroads of conflict.”
