Abstract: The dilemma of Afghanistan is an important component of international security issues. The spillover effects of violence in Afghanistan have largely affected regional and global security and order. The political turmoil in Afghanistan has continued since the 1970 s,and the key to achieving political stability in Afghanistan lies in the completion of the construction of a modern national political system. The nation-building of Afghanistan is a complex game process between global forces, regional forces and unique domestic social and cultural forces. Through the reinterpretation of field theory and process analysis,this article believes that in the historical process of the construction of the Afghanistan,its political structure contains a variety of internal and external competitive forces.These competitive forces have created the fragmented political structure of Afghanistan in the course of multiple interactions. And the special combination type formed between political structure,elite habituation and external intervention is the fundamental reason for the difficult and unique Afghan state-building process. In practice,the combination of the fragility of Afghanistan’s political structure and frequent external intervention has made it difficult for Afghanistan to form a stable political order for a long time.
