DERİNDEN BÖLÜNMÜŞ TOPLUMLARDA BÖLÜNMÜŞ SİVİL TOPLUM: ÇÖZÜM ÖNERİLERİ

Öz

Derinden bölünmüş toplumlarda pozitif barışın sağlanması için uzun vadeli barış inşası politikalarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çerçevede sivil toplum toplumdaki çatlakları onarıcı, etnik gruplar arası mesafeyi azaltıcı ve sosyal entegrasyonu güçlendirici bir barış inşası aracı olarak sunulmaktadır. Ancak derinden bölünmüş toplumlarda sivil toplum da toplumdaki politik ve sosyal bölünmeleri yansıttığı için birleştirici ve uzlaştırıcı bir rol üstlenmesi zordur. Böyle toplumlarda sivil toplum dışlayıcı biçimde örgütlendiği için, topluluklar arası uzlaşıya katkıda bulunamadığı gibi grup içi bağlılıkları güçlendirerek radikalleşmeye de sebep olabilir. Bu çalışma, derinden bölünmüş toplumlarda sivil toplumun nasıl daha kapsayıcı ve uzlaştırıcı bir rol oynayabileceğini tartışmakta ve dışlayıcı sivil toplum örgütlenmelerine yönelik çözüm önerileri getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Divided Civil Society in Deeply Divided Societies: Solution Proposals

Öz

Long-term peacebuilding policies are needed in order to ensure positive peace in deeply divided societies. In this respect, civil society is presented as a peacebuilding tool
that restores social cleavages, reduces inter-ethnic distance and strengthens social integration. However, because of reflecting the political and social
divisions in society, it is difficult for civil society in deeply divided societies to play a unifying and reconciliatory role. Since civil society is
organized exclusively in such societies, it can also lead to radicalization by strengthening intra-group loyalty besides failing to contribute to
inter-community reconciliation. The aim of this study is to discuss how civil society can play a more inclusive and reconciliatory role in deeply divided
societies and to propose solutions for exclusive civil society organizations.
