Abstract:

According to the historical-empirical evidence, the process of state building in third world countries has faced many obstacles and challenges and has not been relatively successful. Afghanistan is one of the third world countries that has faced many challenges and inhibitions in the state building process. The incident of September 11, 2001 and the presence of international forces led by the United States of America in Afghanistan is a turning point in the modern history of this country. Various factors caused the modern state building process in Afghanistan to fail. The main question in this research is what are the important factors that have caused the failure of modern state-building in Afghanistan after the Bonn Agreement? The hypothesis of the research is based on the fact that factors such as ethnic-racial divisions, ethnic politics, inefficiency of political leaders, cultural poverty, important geopolitical geography of Afghanistan which has always been colonized by great powers, lack of agreement on national interests and strongly traditional thinking and the backwardness has been one of the important factors in the failure of modern state-building in Afghanistan. In this research, using the theoretical method, library data has been analyzed and described, and the study time includes events, after the agreement of (2001).
