Abstract

“Üçüncü sektör” olarak da bilinen Sivil Toplum Kuruluşları (STK), toplumsal barış, ilerleme ve istikrar için devasa bir araç haline gelmiştir. İttifakı ve birliği yoluyla STK’lar özellikle devletin ulaşmadığı yerlerde toplumdaki temel problemlere çözüm bulmaya katkı sağlamaktadırlar. Günümüz toplumunda STK’ların en önemli rolü terörizmle mücadelesidir. Farkındalık, lanetlenme, motivasyon, değerlendirme, rehabilitasyon, ortaklık, doktrinleştirme ve koordinasyon yaklaşımları ile terör tehdidini ortadan kaldırılmasına yardımcı olmaktadırlar. Bu araştırmada işlevselcilik kuramı kullanılarak Tunus ve Nijerya’da terörün ortadan kaldırmasında STK’ların rolleri karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde analiz edilecektir. Makalede içerik analizi uygulanarak verimli STK’lara sahip olan ülkelerin terörün ortadan kaldırılmasında verimli STK’lara sahip olmayan ülkelere göre daha başarılı olabileceği hipotezi test edilecektir. Makalede şu soruya da cevap verecektir: STK’ların iki ülkede terörle mücadele politikaları ne kadar etkili? Araştırma bulgularına göre, Tunus’taki STK’lar Nijerya’dakilerden daha verimli olmasına rağmen her iki ülke de terör ile mücadelesinde yeteri kadar adım atmamışlardır. Dolayısıyla, bu araştırmanın küresel Sivil Toplumlara önerdiği arabuluculuk, casusluk ve veya sızma gibi daha pratik bir yaklaşıma ihtiyaç olduğudur.

The Roles of Civil Society Organizations in Fighting Terrorism: A Comparative Analyses between Nigeria and Tunisia

Abstract

Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) otherwise known as the “third sector” have become gargantuan tools for societal peace, progress and stability. Through collaborations and alliances, they are able to intervene in resolving critical problems affecting a given community especially where government’s hand could not have reached. One of the areas where Civil Society takes a bold step in modern society is fighting terrorism. They help in eradicating the menace of terrorism through awareness, damnation, motivation, appraise, rehabilitation, partnership, indoctrination and co-ordinational approaches. Thus, the objective of this paper is to adopt functional approach to critically compare the roles of CSOs in fighting terrorism between Nigeria and Tunisia. The article place more emphasis on content analysis to tests the hypothesis that a country with vibrant CSOs is more likely to eradicate terrorism than the one that has not. The article also responds to question that: how effective are the CSOs’ anti-terrorism policies in the two countries? This research found out that even though Tunisia has more coordinated CSOs than Nigeria, the roles of the CSOs in both countries is not significant enough to help in getting rid of terrorism. So, there is need of more practical approach such as mediation, espionage or infiltration which this research recommends to the global Civil Societies.
