Political Marginalization of Youth as A Driver For Violent Extremism – Examining the Case of Jordan
Said, Fadi Bashir Ahmed
Jordan, wedged amid political unrest and conflict, has found itself a hub for extremism both
domestically, and across its neighboring borders. Jordanian youth are at the forefront, engaging
with radical and extremist groups. This case-study determines factors that motivate youth to join
violent extremist groups, focusing on low-levels of civic engagement and youth participation in
political life. Moreover, the study outlines the interventions needed to reduce the level of youth
participation in violent and extremist groups. Finding that extremism is a multi-dimensional
issue, the researcher draws on political, sociological, and psychological theories to explain the
drivers and factors that may motivate youth to join violent and extremist groups in Jordan. This
study found that a combination of factors led to increased radicalization in Jordan including
external political unrest and instability due to conflicts in neighboring Syria and Iraq which lead
to a spill-over effect influencing radicalization and the activity of extremist groups in Jordan.
Domestically, the influence of Salafis increased, this coupled with high levels of corruption and
increasing unemployment rate among youth has increased the vulnerability of youth to
ideological and psychosocial radicalization. While these have been found to largely make the
country more vulnerable to radicalization, the study found that governance and democracy are
key in minimizing extremism, and in the prevention of violent groups in Jordan. To counter extremists efforts Jordan needs to create programs that integrate social education aimed at the
economic and social development of youth to minimize and rid of existing groups.

Recent studies have associated the relationship between trade, peace and cooperation to the political regimes of countries. These studies have revealed that democratic regimes are more willing to protect the gains of trade than authoritarian regimes. In this thesis, based on these academic studies, Türkiye’s political and commercial relations with the United States of America, Germany, China, France, the Netherlands, Iran, Israel, Egypt, the Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia between 1999-2019 have been examined. Beside, how the political crises that emerged in the aforementioned period affected the commercial relations and the commercial diplomacy activities carried out in the field in order to develop commercial relations has been discussed. Research carried out within the scope of this thesis has revealed that the crises experienced by Türkiye with democratic countries do not have a negative effect on trade and trade diplomacy activities, but the crises with authoritarian countries negatively affect both trade and trade diplomacy activities. The determinations and evaluations in the study were created by examining foreign trade figures, investments and person movements and were confirmed through interviews with trade diplomats working in the countries during crisis periods.

In recent years, between Turkey and China economic and trade relations have been
increasing. It can be said that Turkey's "Central Corridor initiative’’ and China's "Silk
Road Economic Belt and 21. Century sea route Silk Road (B & R)” revival have
brought more Chinese students to Turkey. For Chinese students, Turkey offers a whole
new experience with language, culture, and lifestyle. In this study, the difficulties faced
by Chinese students in their educational life and daily lives, social communication
skills, financial difficulties and the worlds of thought and meaning related to the process
of integration with Turkish culture were discussed directly through their experiences
and discourses. The main purpose of the study was to determine the reasons why
Chinese students chose Turkey for their education. Additionally, the aim of the study is
to present the level of social integration of Turkish culture and their thoughts and
experiences about Turkey in the educational process of the Chinese students at a
descriptive level. As a result of the study, it was observed that the reasons why Chinese
students chose Turkey for education is to receive education in Turkish, that Turkey is a
secular and Muslim country, that they are interested in Turkey, that there is an
opportunity to change in life and education, scholarship and person proposal. It has been
observed that Chinese students with a low level of integration into Turkish culture
prefer a segre life among themselves.

This dissertation aims to question an important promise that the modern state guarantees the protection of human rights, in return of a voluntary transfer of natural rights of people to the sovereign power, for the sake of security, to be seen as the very foundation of modern state. With this aim in mind, the problematic of the protection of human rights is discussed with reference to the relations between the state and the economy, by considering the three historical periods of the capitalist system, namely, the liberal capitalism, the welfare capitalism, and the neoliberal capitalism.
The basic argument of the dissertation is that capitalism, in all the historical transformations it underwent, has had the tendency to create and reproduce violence structurally, and, therefore, that the claim on the part of the modern, capitalist state, about its capability of protecting human rights, is an empty one. For this reason, the dissertation argues, by focusing on the three important dimensions of violence, namely, economic, political, and institutional or collective ones, that capitalism cannot fulfill its promise to protect human rights because it is based on and continually reproduces violence itself. With respect to political violence, it will be shown that the legitimation of violence through the transfer of natural rights for security reasons in a utilitarian perspective actually leads to violations of human rights, contrary to the claims of modern state theorists. With respect to economic violence, capitalism, in a way consistent with Marxian idea of alienation, creates the conditions that hinder human beings from realizing their own potentialities and thus violates the basic human rights of individuals, who are nothing but some collection of “homo oeconomicus”, if they do not have any kind of economic or market power. From the perspective of the category of collective violence, which constitutes an obstacle to the protection of human rights, the production of violence within the context of the hegemony of the modern state and capitalism through the creation of culture, the culture industry, populism, media and information technology, and also through the production of violence in the context of imperialism, which should be seen nothing but a manifestation of capitalism by way of powerful states, and the production of violence through fascism, which is the extreme authoritarian form of the capitalist state. The production of collective violence by the strong states and global capitalist powers cannot be prevented by some international institutions and international law, which under the duty of ensuring and the sustainability of peace through protecting human rights. It will be shown as a result of the production of collective violence by the strong states and global capitalist powers, the cause of serious human rights violations such as wars, military interventions, ethnic and fundamentalist conflicts, mass civilian deaths, statelessness, and the disintegration of powerless states.
As a conclusion, the dissertation reveals that the capitalist system and its product, the modern state ignore human virtues and produces violence and eventually causes the destruction of the „human” through reducing her to a homo oeconomicus. It is argued that the knowledge of human value will make it possible to see human as an end itself, rather than a tool, and that the transformation from a utilitarian human created by the capitalist system to virtuous human will be possible with the change of attitude created with love. In the dissertation, the need of a conception of human being whose aim is to develop and realize their potentialities and hence reaching self-fulfillment is emphasized, order to bring freedom, nonviolence, justice, equality, peace, honesty, reality requires, for the attempts at protecting human dignity and therefore rights requires such a conception in which the solidarity of the virtuous people by sharing love, and dispossession of property can lead to the unification of the multitude as “one” which is a new idea of anarchist form of life.
