• Debates concerning the Afghanistan intervention rarely address the rather abstract yet essential question of what impact a potential 'defeat' in Afghanistan might have on the 'liberal moment' in world politics. The past two decades have been dominated by liberal values, which are based on the rights of the individual. If the 'international community' withdraws from Afghanistan without having established a political order that fulfills fundamental liberal requirements, the long-term consequences for the idea of an 'international community' & the universality of liberal values would be severe, especially in cases where, unlike in Afghanistan, vital security interests are not considered to be at stake.
