Publisher's Synopsis
How does the Haqqani Network make decisions? The decisions the Haqqani Network makes in the next five years will likely influence the future of Afghanistan. This study reviews existing literature to better understand how the Haqqani Network makes decisions through the qualitative analysis of three key decisions the organization made in the past: the inclusion of foreign fighters, the decision to ally with the Taliban Movement, and the decision to maintain an alliance with the Taliban after 9/11. The results show that the Haqqani Network makes decisions to protect and maintain its autonomy.
