The Reasons underlying failed states, Afghanistan
The progress of any given state primarily depends on the type of administration set in
place. The statement implies that the form of government, and the decisions which are provided
by the individuals in the government play a huge role in ensuring there is progress in the state.
On the other hand, the type of international relations which they exhibit majorly works to
indicate whether the nation is prosperous, or not. Afghanistan is a Middle Eastern nation which
many scholars perceive as a failed state. To support their claims, the scholars point out that the
interference from other nations, and the state of instability can be observed as some of the major
factors which have led to the failure of the region. It is correct to note that there are various
factors which have played a concrete role in enabling such an occurrence, and it is the mandate
of the government to amend the existing setbacks. In this case, the form of administration set in

of a nation’s territory is one of the major contributing factors which lead to the aspect of a failed
state. The statement implies that there is the use of monopoly, or force in order to control the
situation of a given state. In this case, the situation in Afghanistan can be observed as a mirror of
the highlighted explanations. It is correct to note that the country has lost control of its territory,
and that is the reason there has been the emergence of Taliban, and other radical groups like
ISIS, and Al-Qaeda. From this, it is correct to state that the central government controls almost
sixty percent of the entire nation according to Beath (Beath, Christia & Enikolopov, 2015). With
the continued state of instability, and the interference by other rowdy forces then the nation is
unable to be self-sufficient hence this can be observed as one of the fundam...
