The Role of Political Culture in the Political Development of Afghanistan after September 11, 2001

Democracy is still not institutionalized in Afghanistan and it has a long way to go before democracy is institutionalized in this country. One of the major internal obstacles on the way to the realization and institutionalization of democracy in this country is the existence of tribal and ethnic political culture of some of its residents. In this country, styles, values, beliefs, feelings, beliefs, looking back, orientations, social traditions and some social structures are some of the inhabitants of this ethnic and tribal land. Of course, this should not be denied and ignored that many young generations of Afghanistan have violated many beliefs, red lines and ethnic taboos. In the third presidential election in Afghanistan, it was seen that the political culture of some young people in this country is participatory. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to determine how effective political culture has been in the political development of Afghanistan. Since the Afghan society is a traditional and tribal society, its political culture is also a tribal political culture. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting library information. The findings show that there is a direct relationship between elections and the political culture of each country. Elections have the same situation as the country's political culture. If the political culture is moving towards democratization, it can be seen that the elections in Afghanistan are also moving towards democratization.
