Toplumsal Bütünleşme Kapsamında Terörizmle Mücadeleye Yönelik Tutumlar ve Davranışlar

Abstract

Bu çalışmada günümüz toplumlarının en temel sorunlarından biri olan terör ve terörizmle mücadelede daha etkin bir rol oynayabilmesi amacıyla, toplumsal bütünleşme olgusu çerçevesinde terörizmle mücadeleye yönelik tutumlar ve davranışlar ele alınmıştır. İlk olarak, toplumsal bütünleşme kavramı temel tanım ve ölçütler üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Bu noktada toplumsal bütünleşme, toplumdaki farklı bireylerin, grupların, kurumların, sınıfların, örgütlerin ve ilişkilerin, yani toplumsal yapının çeşitli öğelerinin birbirini tamamlayabilmesidir. Dolayısıyla terörizmle mücadele kapsamında toplumun tutum ve davranışlarının oluşması da toplumsal bütünleşme kapsamında ele alınmalıdır. Tutumlar, bir olaya, bir konuya yönelik davranışlar üzerinde etkili olurken, birtakım faktörler de tutumları belirler. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın ilgili kısmında terörizmle mücadelede bireylerin ve toplumun konuya yönelik tutum ve davranışları temel ölçütler bağlamında tartışılmıştır. Ardından terörizmle mücadelede sivil özgürlükler ve ulusal güvenlik ikilemi değerlendirilmiş, bu kapsamda terörizmle mücadeleye yönelik tutum ve davranışları belirleyen faktörler açıklanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuç bölümünde ise terörizmle mücadele sürecinde toplumsal bütünleşme bağlamında çözüm önerileri getirilmiştir
