Sinopsis

Over the past century, the process of state-building in Afghanistan has repeatedly failed, with each failure resulting not only in the collapse of institutional order but also in the reproduction of structural violence, political conflict, and social fragmentation. Within this context, Islamists extremist movements have functioned as anti-state actors, playing a pivotal role in undermining political legitimacy, institutional cohesion, and state authority. Focusing on the period from 2001 to 2021, this book analyzes the failure of state-building in Afghanistan through the theoretical lenses of fragile statehood, political legitimacy, and power contestation. By examining the interaction between internal dynamics and external interventions, the study elucidates the scope and mechanisms through which Islamists extremist actors have contributed to the erosion of political order, governance failure, and the persistence of instability. The book ultimately offers a critical interpretation of the relationship between ideology, power, and the state in contemporary Afghanistan.
