Abstract

U.S. and Taliban signed a peace deal on 29^thFebruary2020 which brought an end to the decades-old Afghan conflict. 9/11 Attacks changed the situation of the world as the U.S. used its preemptive right of self-defense and started the global war on terror to eliminate the threat of terrorism. This research paper has discussed in detail the war on terror and events that led to the peace deal between the U.S. and the Taliban. Defensive realism theory has been used to analyze the unilateral decision of the U.S. to start the war on terror and the Liberalperspective has been used to analyze the peace deal between the U.S. and the Taliban. Peace in Afghanistan is very important for the peace and stability of South Asia. This paper has discussed how Afghanistan can increase its economic growth and stability by inclusion in CPEC. The inclusion of Afghanistan in CPEC will bring economic stability and prosperity in the South Asian region.
