Abstract
The research paper describesand analyzes Afghanistan’s third Ulasi Jirga election in light of ‘State’s fragility’ concept, initially theorized in the Western world in 1990s. State’s fragility, is a situation where risks and vulnerabilities overwhelms a state’s or a society’s capacity to overcome these risks. In order to avoid fragility, risks and vulnerabilities are quantified in a number of dimensions, such as, political, economic, justice, security and functioning of core services performed by the State. Election, as a sub part of political dimension of fragility, is assessed and analyzed in this paper to determine how far it add or flout state’s fragility, in terms of addressing level of violence, response of state’s institutions and how far electoral practice contribute to socio-political climate to lessen state fragility as perceived in a liberal model.
