Abstract

Purpose: It is evident that the political behavior of a nation arises from its political culture, which will shape its destiny, and the current situation reflects the political culture that has been ingrained in past generations. This research aims to examine the role of political culture in the transformations of Afghanistan from the fall of the Taliban to their renewed rule.
Method: The data for this research were collected through semi-structured interviews with 35 individuals of Afghan nationality. The interviews were analyzed using Grounded Theory, coding, and thematic analysis.
Findings: According to the findings of this research, a backdrop of a national political culture that has taken shape at all levels of Afghan society, alongside factors such as weak and corrupt government performance and interventions from negative political entities, led to the Afghan nation expressing feelings of resentment and disillusionment toward the government, as well as a sense of hopelessness and despair. The consequence of this process is that Afghanistan, due to a lack of necessary social infrastructure and structural weaknesses, still faces a long road to achieving democracy. This improper course of action also paved the way for the resurgence of the Taliban's rule.
Conclusion: Despite the renewed dominance of the Taliban in Afghanistan after numerous events that occurred in the country following their fall in 2001, it is evident that Afghanistan, with its significant challenges, will need expertise, diplomacy, and global integration more than ever before. It will also require a more inclusive approach to ethnic and religious groups.
