Abstract

Birçok Orta Doğu ülkesindeki gençler, uzun yıllar boyunca marjinalize edilmiş ve politik, ekonomik ve sosyal yaşama katılmaktan mahrum bırakılmış en önemli gruplardan biridir. Bölgedeki savaşlar ve çatışmalar, gençlerin yaşadığı sorunların artmasına neden olmuştur. Savaş ve çatışmalar öncesinde Orta Doğu’daki gençlerin yaşadığı krizler işsizlik ve ekonomik kaynaklı iken, savaştan sonra şiddete maruz kalma veya şiddet olaylarına katılma ve bu duruma bağlı olarak öldürülme, cezaevine girme, diğer ülkelere sığınma, terörist olarak muamele görme ve ırk ayrımcılığa uğrama gibi sorunlar Orta Doğu gençlerinin yaşadığı en önemli sorunlar olmuştur. Bu makalede Ortadoğu’daki gençlerin yaşadığı sorunlarla birlikte bölgedeki gençlerin krizini daha da şiddetlendiren savaş ve çatışmaların etkisi ve gelecekteki yansımaları gözden geçirildi. Bunun ışığında, çeşitli yönetim perspektifleri gözden geçirilmiştir. Ayrıca Orta Doğu gençlerinin karşılaştıkları krizlerin çözümüne katkıda bulunmayı ve onları topluma entegre etmeyi amaçlayan sosyal politikalar için bir model önerilmiştir

The Impact of War and Conflict in Worsening the Problems of Middle Eastern Youngsters: A Proposal for Future Social Policies

Abstract

Young people in many Middle East countries are one of the most important groups that has been marginalized and deprived from participation in the political, economic and social life over the long decades. Wars and conflicts in the region have increased the problems experienced by young people. While unemployment and economic problems are the top of crisis experienced by young people in the Middle East before wars and conflicts, the participation in acts of violence or exposure to it and the consequences related to situation such as killings, imprisonment, resorting to other countries and referring to Middle Eastern young people as terrorists and racial discrimination against them have become the most important characteristics of the crisis and the problems experienced by Middle East youngsters. In this article, the problems experienced by the young people in the Middle East coupled with the impact of ongoing wars and conflicts which have exacerbate the crisis of the young people within the regions and its future repercussions are reviewed. In the light of this, various management perspectives are reviewed. There is also a proposed model for future social policies that aims to solve the crisis faced by Middle East youngsters and to integrate them into the society
