English abstract
This study aims to examine the theoretical framework of the concept of a
'failed state', its characteristics and its main indicators in accordance with
international standards and the application of these standards to Afghanistan. The
thesis examines the causes and consequences of state failure in Afghanistan, and
its impact on regional and global security. It argues that state failure in
Afghanistan is not only a result of the Taliban's takeover, but also of the
international community's policies and actions that have undermined the
legitimacy, capacity and resilience of the Afghan state. It analyzes how state
failure in Afghanistan has created a humanitarian crisis, a security vacuum, and
a potential haven for terrorist groups that threaten the stability of neighboring
countries and beyond. It also explores the challenges and opportunities for the
international community to engage with the Taliban and support a political
settlement that can prevent further state collapse and violence. The thesis draws
on various sources of data, including academic literature, official documents, and
media reports.
