Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to understand whether the awareness of the people from their political culture have impact on the political development in Afghanistan. The main question in this regard was; does the political culture help toward political development, democracy and political stability in Afghanistan.

Methods: This work employed the doctrinal research methodology along with descriptive, explanatory, and analytical research approaches. This study was entirely based on library sources. The sources were textbooks, scholarly published and unpublished journal articles, law reports related to the research area.

Results: One of the major internal obstacles to the realization and institutionalization of democracy in Afghanistan is the existence of tribal and ethnic political culture of some of its inhabitants. In Afghanistan, beliefs, emotions, looking to the past with orientations, social traditions, and some social structures of some people are ethnic and tribal. As at 2024, many people of the new and young generation of Afghanistan have a participatory political culture and trampled many beliefs, red lines and ethnic taboo. In the third presidential election in Afghanistan, it was evident that the political culture of some of the youth of this borderland is participatory. One of the ways that pave the ground for understanding people about their political leaders, the structure and behavior of the government is that the young generation of Afghanistan should be literate. This is the responsibility of the political leaders and the government of Afghanistan.  

Conclusion: Political culture in Afghanistan is limited. The people do not have the necessary knowledge about the political system and its mechanisms.
