Following a decade of democratization in Afghanistan, the process confronts many serious questions such as: is Afghanistan actually being democratized? And to what extent it is possible to democratize a post-civil war country? The literature of postTaliban democratization doesn’t provide any clear answer to these questions. Most of the writings either provide a chronology of events or narrow analyses which neither identify Afghanistan as a post-civil war case nor describe all the major dimensions and conditions of post-civil war democratization. This paper examines the post-Taliban democratization of Afghanistan within the framework of “post-civil war democratization” theory. Drawing on this theoretical framework, the level of success and failure of democratization in the post-Taliban Afghanistan is measured through evaluating the level of development in five major sectors; namely, state-building, welfare, rule of law, political regime and political community. Development in these sectors should address the root causes of civil war and deal with the post-war circumstances.
