(RSIS Commentaries, No. 021). RSIS Commentaries. Singapore: Nanyang Technological University. | Series/Report no.: | RSIS Commentaries ; 021/09 | Abstract: | The Obama administration's public criticism of Afghan President Hamid Karzai in recent weeks has spareked a great deal of speculation that it is looking to back an alternative candidate in Afghanistan's upcoming elections. However this move may be part of a diplomatic strategy to both spur Karzai into making uncomfortable political changes while simultaneously giving him the distance to re-generate his image. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/101735 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/6083 |
