Abstract
When referring to the conflict in Afghanistan, many analysts and commentators have started talking about the use of local non-state armed actors by states in their own interests. Such a behavior contributes to and actually prolongs the conflict and makes it more difficult to solve. Given the strategic, geopolitical, and to a certain extent even symbolic, value of Afghanistan to some states, there exists a high risk potential for intensification of proxy warfare in Afghanistan in the post-2014 period and for years to come. Such a proxy war would be waged within broader Indo-Pakistani and SunniShia rivalries’ framework. Generally, in the future there is a high potential of proxy warfare becoming one of the main instruments of waging conflicts with opponents. Recent radical budget cuts as well as the political sensitivity of direct engagements in conflicts for some due to worries of regular military casualties play a significant role in this regard.
