Summary/Abstract: The Afghanistan as a state defies the classical descriptions of the failed state, because on the one hand it has all its characteristic features, and on the other, this specific situation of “bankruptcy” has strong historical roots. The main sources uses to analyse the problems of Afghan state are historical sources, literature, press materials and reports from renowned international organizations. The closing conclusions is that the Euro-Atlantic approach to Afghan state and its problems point of view about is wrong and it is an obstacle to understanding challenges and finally may even be harmful.
