Abstract

The insurgency in Afghanistan continues to be an ongoing predicament that the afghan government and the international community continue to face. The insurgency has various underlying and immediate causes. The paper focuses the on the Post Liberal framework that had suggests that the one size fit all approach of liberal peace is no longer sufficient to address the realties on ground in cases like Afghanistan. the post liberal peace thus suggests in the inclusion of civil society and cases by case policy making to suit the circumstances. The paper opts a qualitative approach to study the cause and effect relationship of insurgency and state building. The most prominent cause of the Afghan insurgency is the failure of state building under the Liberal Peace Framework; these practices in Afghanistan have further aggravated the conflict. The cause and effect relationship thus developed is such that the insurgency undermines state building and the state building intensified the insurgency. Therefore, the case of Afghanistan suggests that the use of Post Liberal Peace can provide a workable solution of the Afghan Insurgency and creation of a sustainable peace
