The present paper tries to discover the causes of Taliban emergence. Although there are external and internal factors paving the emergence of Taliban; moreover, since external factors may be an accelerating factor, therefore, studying and discovering factors which formed Taliban are worth considering. It seems that the way Taliban’s political beliefs, ideas and thoughts formed in political sociology has eluded researchers, or has received superficial attention. The studies in the recent years about Taliban’s emergence have focused on the external factors making Taliban’s formation. In addition, most researchers paid attention to the external factors and the theory of Islam phobia which show some drawbacks. The present study applies a theoretical framework adapted from the structural theory of Michael Krause and Conceptual theory of Max Weber from one hand and considers the role of primary and secondary channels of political socialization on the other hand, and has focused on this significant idea and ignores the evaluation of different political aspects and foreign dependency, and also the policies of the regional and world countries which have had a role in forming Taleban so as to recognize the causes of emergence of Tabelanism in Afghanistan.

Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) is the most prominent figure in the French sociology that put an end to the hegemony of social action and structuralize theories in the field of sociology. He propounded Structural Constructivist Theory of politics through dialectical relationships between "fields" and "habits". Bourdieu's broad socio-anthropological and interrelation approach to power stands as opposed to the traditional academic political science discipline which emphasizes on the actual and objective operation of the political institutions (one of the legacies of the behavior list school) as well as on the more visible aspects of governing operations (elections, laws, policies, parties, etc). By contrast, Bourdieu as a sociologist and anthropologist approached the topic of power by stressing the social and cultural bases of power at the micro-as well as macro- levels. Naturally, this complicated view may not neglect analyzing electoral and democratic politics as doxa (dominated common belief) in political filed.Based on his critical view to current electoral democracies, Bourdieu emphasizes that delegation of power and political representation, despite the presence of the media and the press, inevitably leads to usurpation and manipulation of democracy. What does Bourdieu suggests as an alternative to representative democracies as a dominated doxa in political field? Bourdieu propounds the idea of "Real Democracy" which includes different dialectical categories as an alternative way to democratization of democracy in current societies.
