Ethnic Struggles and Political Stability in Afghanistan 2001-2021:
Thematic Analysis of Republican Collapse
Keywords:
Ethnic Politics, Political Stability, Afghanistan, Collapse, Thematic AnalysisAbstract
This research examines the complex relationship in Afghanistan between ethnic politics and political stability, emphasising the years 2001 through 2021. The study uses the Harf and Gurr theoretical framework to illuminate this intricate interaction. Thematic analysis is the preferred method for analysis, made possible by the advanced MAXCODA 18 programme. It became clear that an essential part of this study project was conducting several informative interviews. These interviews allowed for exploring the role of ethnic politics in influencing these dynamics while also gaining a thorough picture of the political stability situation, particularly in the wake of the fall of the Republican regime. Twenty-two interviews included a broad spectrum of socioeconomic groupings, jobs, and ethnic backgrounds. Key themes are carefully studied throughout the research and relate to the article's main topic. This study clarifies the complex relationships between ethnic politics and political stability in Afghanistan, advancing knowledge of this significant period in the country's history.
