Abstract
Afghanistan, the heart of Asia, has been passing through protracted
political instability and societal chaos for almost half a century.The situation
became more vulnerable with the launch of US steered Operation Enduring
Freedom (OEF) against Taliban after 9/11 who has gradually established a ‘state
within a state’ in Afghanistan. The growing influence of Taliban and day to day
insurgent activities are posing grave humanitarian and security challenges and
putting the lives of 37 million Afghans at great risk.The research, therefore,
within its purview analyzes post-2001 triangular politics of reconciliation in
Afghanistan and intends to find out impeding factors for their failure. In the
context of Afghanistan, ‘reconciliation’ is not biangular rather it works in a
triangular dimension as itoscillates between the Taliban, Afghan government, and
the US. The research analyses only those peace-building measures which have
been initiated either by the US, Afghan Government, or the Taliban. The study
applies qualitative methodology based upon explorative research design and
obtains data through existing literature as well as focus group discussion to seek
the answer to research puzzle i.e., howdoes triangular politics of reconciliation
work in Afghanistan and why past reconciliation processes didn’t successful, what
are the stumbling blocks of peace in Afghanistan?
