Abstract
Afghanistan has been a center of a struggle between major powers since the 19th century. In
2001, the fight against terrorism had sparked a new power struggle among local, regional,
and international Afghanistan actors. Various state and non-state players with conflicting
perspectives and conflicting approaches are trying to pursue their strategic, political, and
economic goals in Afghanistan. Due to similar security threats, complex economic
interdependence, and economic liberalism, different scenarios may emerge in Afghanistan,
leading to the potential collaboration of major global and regional powers in Afghanistan.
This partnership can be expanded for several logics and reasons, among which security
comes first. The peace treaty concluded between the United States and the Taliban on
February 29, 2020. The continuing peace process via intra-Afghan peace talks with regional
states has fortified hopes for peace in Afghanistan through cooperative measures among
major regional and international powers.
