Abstract
This study investigates the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, 2021, in order to find
out whether the takeover was a result of undeveloped state institutions. In this
case study, the takeover is examined according to the theoretical approach of
fragile states. Undeveloped state institutions are operationalized through the
degree of financial support they recieve. The other main variable, takeover, is
operationalized through regime change. For this to be tested, a process-tracing
method was put to use in order to identify the intervening causal process between
the two main variables. Considering the result of the analysis, the conclusion is
made that the hypothesized relationship between undeveloped institutions and

made that the hypothesized relationship between undeveloped institutions and
regime change finds support in this paper. Though, through the lack of
information, the hypothesized relationship was more difficult to assess regarding
some of the investigated institutions in this paper. Moreover, the analysis also
identified other variables which produce a causal relationship between the two
main variables: corruption, poor management and inefficiency. (Less)
