Summary/Abstract: The study is aiming to explore how a detailed and skilful use of various open sources can strongly enhance both individual and institutional capabilities in the area of accurately analyzing / evaluating / diagnosing, and predicting significant evolution in Afghanistan. Extensive and sound use of open sources is to be regarded as being a significant for both purely academic research in the fields of International Relations and Strategic Studies, and also in shaping solid, flexible and accurate policy/oriented texts.
