Games poses different socio economic, political and security challenges
to regional countries especially Central Asia, Afghanistan and
Pakistan. As Afghanistan is bordered with Central Asia which is the
chessboard of big power since 19th century due to its position of huge
amount of natural resources and strategic location. Different proxy
wars in region especially in Afghanistan by regional and extra regional
countries to project their strategic interests, which changed the
dynamics of the social, economic and political stability of regional
countries. This power politics in the region created a lot of internal and
external challenges for Today’s financial stalemate of the region,
political instability, ethnic diversification, disunity, religious
extremism, terrorism, worst law and order situation and lack of power
sharing are the results of great games and competing interests of
regional and extra regional powers in the region. The involvement of
US, NATO and ISAF and their influx of billions of dollars in the form
of aid has significantly improved Afghanistans economic
circumstances but the social, political and security situation remain
the same. | | Keywords : | | | Great Game, US, Russia, China and Central Asia. |
