Abstract
The Taliban group, who in August 2021, by capturing Kabul, were able to seize government power in Afghanistan for the second time in the last twenty-five years and restore and establish their desired political regime under the title of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, just like the first period of their rule (2001). - 1996), have not been successful in convincing the international community to accept their government as the legitimate representative of the country of Afghanistan and is still facing a crisis of international recognition. Public services, which are one of the inherent duties of governments, and their optimal provision, according to the principle of adaptability, requires communication between the home government and other countries. The beginning of these relationships occurs with the recognition component. The question research is whether this lack of recognition can have a negative effect on the provision of public services. In the present case study, the impact of the continued non-recognition of the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" on "public service delivery" as a duty of a state in the domestic arena has been examined. Weaknesses in the sectors of treatment, health, education, and maintenance and development of public service infrastructure, which indicate the inefficiency of the Taliban group in providing public services, are related to the consequences of this group's non-recognition. This research, which has been conducted descriptively and analytically and using a library method, aims to examine the impact of "non-recognition of a state" on "public service delivery" in that state.
