Abstract

This article examines many of the Taliban's prominent positions and dynamics in the Afghan state. The Taliban has had few explicit political goals. Instead, its policies have focused on reshaping Afghan society and re‐establishing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The Taliban conflicted with the Afghan Republic (2001−2021) and faced repeated administrative problems and opposition in realizing their minor political goals. They have re‐emerged in Afghanistan following the U.S. withdrawal. This article compares factors such as corruption, ethnicity, dictatorship, and politics between the Taliban and the Republic. It uses the fragile state framework to explain the continuation of the conflict in Afghanistan, analyzing historical discourse. This article primarily relies on survey data, focusing on the views of Afghan people concerning the Republic and the Taliban. 本文分析了塔利班在阿富汗国家的许多重要地位和动态。塔利班很少有明确的政治目标。相反,其政策重点是重塑阿富汗社会和重建阿富汗伊斯兰酋长国。塔利班与阿富汗共和国发生冲突(2001年至2021年),并在实现其次要政治目标时屡屡面临行政问题和反对。美国撤军后,他们重新出现在阿富汗。本文比较了塔利班和共和国之间的腐败、族群性、独裁和政治等因素。本文使用脆弱国家理论框架来解释阿富汗冲突的持续,分析了历史话语。本文主要依靠调查数据,聚焦于阿富汗民众对共和国和塔利班的看法。 Este artículo examina muchas de las posiciones y dinámicas destacadas de los talibanes en el Estado afgano. Los talibanes han tenido pocos objetivos políticos explícitos. En cambio, sus políticas se han centrado en remodelar la sociedad afgana y restablecer el Emirato Islámico de Afganistán. Los talibanes entraron en conflicto con la república afgana (2001–2021) y enfrentaron repetidos problemas administrativos y oposición para lograr sus objetivos políticos menores. Han resurgido en Afganistán tras la retirada de Estados Unidos. Este artículo compara factores como la corrupción, el origen étnico, la dictadura y la política entre los talibanes y la república. Utiliza el marco del Estado frágil para explicar la continuación del conflicto en Afganistán, analizando el discurso histórico. El artículo se basa principalmente en datos de encuestas y se centra en las opiniones del pueblo afgano sobre la república y los talibanes.
