| Summary: |
The military occupation of Afghanistan by the
United States arises from the needs to reassert
its hegemonic power. However, the reasons
behind the engagement of nato troops in
the country 15 years later are much less evident.
In fact, it was not possible to eliminate
or reduce the actions of insurgencies and the
political situation became more complex.
Therefore, the objective of this article is to
analyze the Afghan occupation by nato in the
light of the concepts proposed by structural
realism in order to criticize the persistence of
military strategy and its detrimental effects
on United States’ national interests. To fulfill
this objective, I analyze the military invasion
of Afghanistan after the attacks of September
11, 2001 and I finally criticize the presence
of foreign troops in this country based on the
theoretical postulates of Mearsheimer, who
argues on the irrationality of pursuing the
armed intervention. |
