Abstract

The Afghan population has been significantly affected by the consequences of the United States-led invasion, including the ongoing war on terror, economic and political turmoil, and security concerns. Both the United States administration and the Afghan government assert the imperative for Pakistan to exert influence and facilitate the engagement of the Taliban in negotiations. The paper scrutinizes the complexities of the peace negotiations, examining the historical context, implementation challenges, and the involvement of diverse stakeholders in the process. Through an extensive literature review and thematic analysis, the study navigates through scholarly resources, governmental reports, and policy papers to elucidate the multifaceted dimensions of the Afghan Peace Deal. It explores the regional power dynamics, geopolitical interests, and the roles of key stakeholders, elucidating their influence on the negotiation process and subsequent implications for peace and stability within the region. This paper aims to offer a nuanced understanding of the Afghan Peace Deal, its implementation challenges, and the broader regional dynamics, providing valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners invested in peacebuilding efforts in Central and South Asia. Pakistan, a significant ally in the ongoing conflict and a neighboring country of Afghanistan, is experiencing destabilization that has the potential to negatively impact regional stability. This study provides a critical analysis of the United States' grand strategy aimed at achieving peace in Afghanistan. The subject of discussion is the Taliban and the ongoing peace process in Afghanistan, involving the United States and Pakistan.
