Speculate Ethnic Federalism for Political Stability in Afghanistan
Abstract
Ethnic identity is a key player in the country's political structure, spatially in multiethnic societies. The relationship between ethnic groups and the central government in Afghanistan has been based on ignoring and sometimes even eliminating. and the reaction of ethnic groups has been evasive and centrifugal. The government formation of Afghanistan is back to 18th century along with the power of the Durrani tribal. Political history showed that the centralized political system has not been leading to political stability in Afghanistan. The question is that; what is the speculated ethnic federalism for political stability in Afghanistan? The aim of the study is to explore the speculated ethnic federalism for political stability in Afghanistan. And this study was conducted by the qualitative method. The result of study shows that Afghanistan is the multi ethnic country and it has more than 50 identified tribes. Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara, and Uzbek are the major ethnic groups. The major issues of contemporary history Afghanistan are instability of governments. It is having been back to central political system. And ehtno-federal form of governance will lead to political stability in Afghanistan.
