Abstract
The insurgency in Afghanistan continues to be an ongoing
predicament that the afghan government and the international
community continue to face. The insurgency has various
underlying and immediate causes. The paper focuses the on
the Post Liberal framework that had suggests that the one size
fit all approach of liberal peace is no longer sufficient to
address the realties on ground in cases like Afghanistan. the
post liberal peace thus suggests in the inclusion of civil society
and cases by case policy making to suit the circumstances. The
paper opts a qualitative approach to study the cause and effect
relationship of insurgency and state building. The most
prominent cause of the Afghan insurgency is the failure of state
building under the Liberal Peace Framework; these practices in
Afghanistan have further aggravated the conflict. The cause
and effect relationship thus developed is such that the
insurgency undermines state building and the state building
intensified the insurgency. Therefore, the case of Afghanistan
suggests that the use of Post Liberal Peace can provide a
workable solution of the Afghan Insurgency and creation of a
sustainable peace
