Abstract

Building an efficient and popular government in a country like Afghanistan (a buffer zone), definitely faces many geopolitical challenges on sub-national and transnational scales. Geopolitical challenges on a transnational scale in situations like Afghanistan are one of the most influential components for government building. In this research, an attempt has been made to understand the geopolitical obstacles and challenges of the Taliban on a transnational scale to build an effective popular government in Afghanistan, and to examine the practical solutions to overcome these challenges. This applied study was conducted by collecting information in the form of a library and a survey (interview and questionnaire) and using the Q method to analyze the discourse and theoretical patterns of the political elite. The most significant challenges to governance in Afghanistan are the territorial-cultural interactions with neighboring countries, conflicting strategies, and interventions by regional powers. The geopolitical position of Afghanistan poses a barrier to effective governance. Therefore, notable strategies include fostering cooperation and collaboration with global nations to combat global terrorism, engaging with international human rights, political, and economic institutions, and adopting an active policy of neutrality in international politics at the Afghan level.
