Summary/Abstract: The decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2021 resulted in immediate coverage ofthe Afghan Taliban, who immediately began working to seize power. Currently, more than two yearshave passed since Afghanistan has been under the rule of the Taliban. During this time, political andeconomic changes took place and the international perception of Afghanistan changed. Based on thesystemic method, the article carried out an analysis that helped to give answer the research questionsregarding the political and economic situation of Afghanistan; the threat of terrorism and the place androle of Afghanistan in international politics, especially Pakistan and Iran. The research hypothesis putforward in the text is that the takeover of power by the Taliban in 2021 has led to the marginalizationof the state in the international arena and prevented the constructive development of Afghan politicaland economic potential. Afghanistan remains one of the poorest and ruined countries in the world.After verifying the hypothesis and answering the research questions, the conclusions were drawn thatAfghanistan is still politically marginalized in the international arena, although many countries main-tain unofficial political and economic relations with it. The economic situation, despite the correctiveactions taken by the Taliban government, is still very difficult and millions of citizens of this countrylive in poverty.
