The Geopolitical Implications of the TAPI Pipeline for Regional Stability in Afghanistan

Author(s) Aabid Rahman Rahmany
Country India
Abstract This paper analyzes the geopolitical and economic significance of the TAPI (Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India) pipeline and its implications for Afghanistan’s economic development and regional stability. The study focuses on how the TAPI project offers Afghanistan significant financial benefits, including transit fees, energy independence, job creation, and infrastructure development. It also explores the strategic importance of Afghanistan as a key transit country and the geopolitical challenges posed by regional rivalries, particularly between India and Pakistan. The role of global powers such as the United States, Russia, and China in shaping the pipeline’s success is critically assessed. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach to comprehensively analyze the geopolitical and economic implications of the TAPI pipeline for Afghanistan’s regional stability. Qualitative methods include document analysis, reviewing government reports, policy briefs, and academic literature concerning the TAPI project. Quantitative data on transit fees, job creation, and projected gas revenues are gathered from governmental and organizational sources such as the Asian Development Bank and the Afghan Ministry of Mines. Case studies of similar pipeline projects (e.g., Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Nord Stream) are used for comparative analysis. This mixed-methods approach provides a holistic understanding of TAPI's potential for fostering stability or exacerbating regional tensions.
