Summary/Abstract: The signing of an agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban on the withdrawal of international troops from Afghanistan in 2020, has sparked increased interest in the state of security of Afghan society among international relations scholars, especially those who represent the constructivist position. The purpose of this article is to examine the extent to which the Taliban represent, on constructivist grounds, Afghanistan. An additional goal is to identify social security problems that may contribute to the lack of legitimacy of Taliban rule. The current difficult social situation in Afghanistan is shown, which may contribute to the international community's questioning of the legitimacy of Taliban rule, despite efforts on their part to change their identity after 2001. The state of social security in Afghanistan after the return of the Taliban to power is shown in the context of the thought of the representative of constructivism, Alexander Wendt.
