Abstract
The current article does not unravel this conceptual debate, but reviews and interprets the main landmarks of international engagement – in its military, civil and diplomatic facets – in Afghanistan since the deposition of the Taliban regime. Didactically, we identify four stages in this unfinished process: a moment of illusory stability (2001-05); a stage when the Taliban uprising intensified (2006-08); the apex of the conflict, under the sign of the counter-insurgency strategy (2009-11); and the current challenges of the military transition and of the political reconciliation (2012-14). Finally, we will think over the impact that the Afghan War may cause upon the multilateral statebuilding exercises.
