Abstract

Taliban is subject of a current which happened in political and social geopolitics of Afghanistan in the last decade of the twentieth century, and their astonishing the aggressive, dogmatic, and dogmatic attitudes staggered the world. Taliban was apparently destroyed by US military intervention after it came to power in Afghanistan, but recently this current has returned to the political arena of Afghanistan and now it has again restored part of Afghanistan's territory. The research question is about why and how to reproduce the Taliban's power. Undoubtedly, this return will be accompanied with a wide range of negative regional and international consequences, which will doubled the necessity of doing the research. According to the hypothesis, the reproduction of the Taliban's power is influenced by both internal and external factors which led to the relationship between them and habit formation. The methodology of this research is of a qualitative and library type and Bourdieu's conceptual construction theory is used as a theoretical framework. Findings of the research also indicate that many Pashtun peoples' habituals, as the Taliban's intellectual and practical waterspire, are reproducing themselves, and since issues such as monopoly of political rule in the Pashtun folk, according to relationships, have become the commonplace of these people, therefore Reproduction of political structure and power is a reality.
