The Middle East Institute is proud to host Marvin Weinbaum, scholar at
the Middle East Institute, and Caroline Wadhams, Director for South
Asia Security Studies at the Center for American Progress, for a
discussion on the outcomes and impact of the recent parliamentary
elections in Afghanistan. Recently returned from Afghanistan, where
they were election monitors in Kabul Province and Balkh Province,
respectively, Dr. Weinbaum and Ms. Wadhams will share their recent
experiences on the ground and assess the ramifications of the elections
for Afghanistan's prospects for democracy. Their discussion will shed
light on the Afghan election process and the outlook for a democratic
future for Afghanistan.
