Pakistan's Security Challenges after the Taliban Takeover in Afghanistan

Abstract

    Taliban seized power in Afghanistan after the US withdrawal on 15 August 2021. Because of the sudden withdrawal of the United States, a political and security vacuum has spread to all of the regional states, and the state system has also broken down. The purpose of this study is to identify the security challenges for Pakistan after the Taliban regime. This study will also comprehend the different security challenges like terrorist insurgencies, regrouping of TTP, Durand line issue, and spillover effect. The research paper used the theoretical perspective of Neo-Realism to better understand the behaviour of Afghanistan and Pakistan in contemporary times.

    Pakistan, Afghanistan, Durand Line, War on Terror, Taliban Resurgence, Extremism, Security.
