he Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination (LISD) at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs convened the colloquium, “Creating Stability and Prosperity in Afghanistan and the Region,” on 26-29 October 2006 in Vienna, Austria. This was the eighth LISD-sponsored colloquium on Afghanistan since 2001 and was the inaugural meeting of a two-year project, “State Security, and Prosperity: Afghanistan, its Neighbors and the Region,” being undertaken by LISD and funded in part by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Participants outlined critical issues currently facing Afghanistan in terms of the state’s security, rule of law, mobilization of the economy, and trans-border issues such as infrastructure and energy. More than fifty leading experts participated from the U.S., E.U., and the region representing academia, the diplomatic community, governments, and the private-sector active in the region. The colloquium was opened by H.S.H. Prince Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein, and was chaired by LISD director, Wolfgang Danspeckgruber.
