Abstract
The following article aims on contemporary failures during the post-conflict reconstruction in Afghanistan. The argumentation is based on the relation between the critical theories and problemsolving approach.
The first raised example concerns the Bonn conference in 2001 as an emotional hasty decision making which has been critical to present consequences. The main criticism is focused on the Afghan constitution, which gave the opportunity to strengthen patron-driven network of contemporary president.
In addition, constitution excluded important part of Afghan citizens. This mistake was based mainly on the emotional mood just shortly after 9/11.
The patron-driven network is not exactly the same as the well-known corruption networks in Europe. Especially because the patron-driven network is a traditional social phenomenon based on the strong family and so informal relations, which are the guarantee of local security.
This social phenomenon should have been taken into consideration in lieu of its ignorance. It is not important whether the patron-driven networks are acceptable in sense of European vision of good society or not.
The next example is the cumbersome implementation of criminal law. The criminal code was imposed to the typical Afghan society rather than implemented by the Afghans themselves.
In the end of the article the author recommends some important notions regarding the social sensitive approach avoiding the mistakes and failures experienced by Allies. The involved workers should be focused more on the country's history, tradition, habits and social structure instead of the measurable results.
The most important recommendation is to keep the locals involved in their affairs regardless their capacity or pace. The locals are responsible for their future and they should create their own life plans as they wish, believe them and willingly implement them on the social level.
