Relations between states calling international relations. Today there are almost 200 independent states, and multiple international organizations that are covered by international Relations. Millions of people are living in different independent states. These states around world forms global system. What kind of Relation exists between states in this global system, what laws govern them; different scholars from time to time have tried to explain it through different theories and all most every one of them are applicable at various space and time. States and countries never existed once but human developed it some time in history so it is human created system. Every state is independent, so its mutual benefits that bring them together or mutual enmities. Survival is ultimate goal of all states. Hegemon constitutes knowledge, and these theories started from hegemon of time that is United States of America soon after International relations was acceptedas academic subject. Some scholars suggest that its power politics that every state tries to achieve in international relations to be on upper hand and achieve maximum goals and remains dominant, other suggests that its mutual cooperation between states for economical reason. The Classical Realism is one of classical theory of international relations that can be felt today as well. It moves around power politics and survival. International system is defined as anarchy which is almost true because there is no world power that is their to enforce law its will of sovereign states to follow norms rules and regulation or not. States must struggle to survive and world is most in conflict over interest the powerful states interests are served well on priority. Realism is more closely to human behavior and that is behavior of selfishness that always produces conflicts.

It further presents Afghan’s perspective on terrorism and counter terrorism in Afghanistan which has been scarcely discussed before. The current research is focused on a post-Taliban timeframe (2001 to 2019). This study utilizes interpretive paradigm with critical theoretical approach. Primary data is collected through qualitative data collection tool that is in-depth interviews with Afghan citizens for this study. The main emphasis has been the interpretation of the data analyzing the Afghan perspective that is the local perspective of the terrorism. “What acts constitute terrorism?” has helped in constructing a working definition of terrorism to understand the dynamics of the current counter terrorism regime prevailing in Afghanistan. Furthermore, the study has analyzed the counter-terrorism measures taken by the Afghan regime and their allies by analyzing and evaluating their effectiveness. It has deliberated upon the efficacy and typical impression of the local population about these measures. This study also attempts to address the need for reaching out to the hearts and minds of the Afghan community. What factors do Afghans consider important in counter-terror strategies and how can their trust and cooperation be won? The findings are drawn from all the data collected during the research. It has also included suggestions and recommendations for making better policies in countering terrorism in Afghanistan based on the perspectives of the Afghans.
