YÜZYILDA TERÖRİZM VE GÜVENLİKLEŞTİRME: BATI AFRİKA YANSIMASI

Öz

Makale, 21.yy’da Batı Afrika’daki terörizm ve güvenlikleştirme özetlemektedir. 11 Eylül ABD saldırısından sonra terörizme yeni bir kavram verildi. Bununla birlikte, 21.yy’da terörizm özellikle Batı Afrika’da önde gelen yerel ve uluslararası sorunlardan biri haline gelmiştir. Terörün doğası, iddia ettiği kurbanların sayısına göre günlük hayatımızda kendini gösterir. Makale, ideolojileri ve grup oluşumları, nedenleri, sonuçları ve tepkileri dahil olmak üzere Batı Afrika’daki terörizmin tarihsel arka planını sağlamak için teorik ve pratik müdahaleyi kullanıyor. Bu makale araştırmacılara ve akademisyenlere, politika yapıcılara, uluslararası organizasyonlara ve en çok hükümet üyelerine Batı Afrika’daki terörizmle mücadele için sosyo-ekonomik kalkınma ve diğer mekanizmalara olan ihtiyacı anlamalarına yardımcı olabileceğinden çok önemlidir

Terrorism and Securitization in the 21st Century; West African Reflection

Öz

The paper outlines terrorism and securitization in the 21st century, reflecting on West Africa. After the U.S attack on September 11, terrorism is given a new concept. However, terrorism in the 21st century has become one of the leading domestic and international challenges globally, especially in West Africa. The nature of terrorism is manifest in our daily lives based on the number of victims it claims. The paper uses theoretical and practical interference to provide the historical background of terrorism in West Africa, including ideologies and group formations, causes, consequences, and responses. This paper is crucial as it can help researchers and academics, policymakers, international organizations, and most government members understand the need for socio-economic development and other mechanisms to combat terrorism in West Africa.
