Abstract
This paper examines the impact of international institutions on the process of state-building in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2022. The main research question is how international institutions have influenced the state-building process in Afghanistan. The hypothesis of the research is that international institutions have played a constructive and foundational role in the state-building process in Afghanistan. This research is conducted using an analytical-descriptive method, with data collection tools including library research through books, articles, theses, and interviews. The literature and theoretical framework of this research are based on concepts such as modernization, imported democracy, mosaic society, elite rotation, and fragile state. The findings of the research indicate that after the fall of the Taliban and the beginning of military intervention and international aid from the United Nations, NATO, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, and the United States, these institutions have played a significant and positive role in structural reforms, state-building, reconstruction of government institutions, civil institutions, electoral systems, security provision, human rights protection, and resolving political crises in Afghanistan. The goal of this paper is to analyze the impacts of these institutions on the process of state-building in Afghanistan, considering the country’s cultural, ethnic, and security challenges.
