“…As such, normative influence may have an even more pronounced impact on decision-making as displaced individuals seek to fit in to new networks and adapt to new normative structures. Other research with Syrian refugees in both Jordan and Lebanon found that exposure to more liberal norms within host communities caused families to turn to child marriage as a way to protect their daughters [37,38]. While these findings seem to contrast with the positive influence that we found host communities to have on shifting norms and attitudes away from girl child marriage, it may be instead that such divergent findings are really describing different manifestations of the same underlying phenomenon.…”

Background There is growing global evidence that girl child marriage (CM) increases during humanitarian crises. Norms, attitudes, and policies that sustain CM are deeply entrenched within families and communities, and may be further exacerbated by conflict and displacement. The purpose of this study is to understand how the social and normative environment influences attitudes and practices related to CM in two diverse humanitarian settings. Methods We held a total of eight focus group discussions, four in each country, with Syrian refugees in Jordan and Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh. FGDs were conducted with fathers, mothers, and adolescent boys and girls. Results Similar themes emerged from both settings. Participants discussed a desire to hold onto tradition in displacement and how norms are reinforced across generations. Social influence emerged in positive and negative ways, including peer pressure and conformity and the positive influence of host communities. In both settings, girls themselves described having little agency. Participants described resistance to change, which was exacerbated by conflict and displacement, though they discussed how social influence could be an effective way to challenge existing norms that drive the practice of girl child marriage. Conclusions Our findings represent a more robust understanding of how norms operate within the social ecological system, and how they are reinforced across social relationships, offering an opportunity to more effectively challenge norms that sustain the practice of girl child marriage.

“…Şırnak ilinde gerçekleşen erken yaşta evliliklerin nedenlerini inceleyeceğiz ve bunları ekonomik faktörler, eğitim, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliği, sosyo-kültürel etkenler, toplum baskısı ve kullanılan dil gibi alt başlıklar altında ele alacağız. Bu şekilde, her erken yaşta evlilik olayının arkasında yatan bireysel ve toplumsal sebepleri anlama fırsatı elde edeceğiz [40].…”

Agonistik demokrasi, liberal demokrasinin krizine bir çözüm önerisi olarak Chantal Mouffe ve Ernesto Laclau tarafından kavramlaştırılmıştır. Agonistik demokrasi, antagonizma ve hegemonya olmak üzere iki temel kavram üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Agonistik demokrasi antagonizmaların agonizmaya dönüştürülmesini ifade eder. Ehlileştirilmiş antagonizmayı, çatışmalı konsensüsü, farklıkları tanımayı ve kabullenmeyi, siyasi alanda çoğulcu demokrasiyi savunmaktadır. Çalışmada, parti içi muhalefet agonistik demokrasi örneği midir? sorusuna yanıt aranmaktadır. Parti içi muhalefet agonistik demokrasi ile bağdaşmakta fakat uygulamada farklılıklar olması açısından değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışmanın yöntemi literatür taraması, sosyal medya analizi, gazete ve demeçler derlemesi, parti tüzüğü incelemesi üzerine oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma konusunun daha önce çalışılmamış olmasından dolayı ulusal yazına katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.

Addressing hunger, particularly within impoverished communities in Jordan and globally, demands innovative, practical solutions. The research focused on refugee populations and their preferences for interventions aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2: Zero Hunger remains limited. This study explores the preferences of refugees in the Irbid Camp and Sakhra region, Jordan, for two potential interventions—cultivated roofs (CRs) and refrigerators as food banks (RaFB). Surveys conducted among 402 households serve to determine refugee preferences in hunger reduction, the influence of demographic attributes on these choices, and the feasibility of each proposed intervention. Chi-square tests were utilized to establish correlations between refugee intervention preferences and demographic variables, such as age, gender, education level, and family size. The results reveal a strong preference (90%) for RaFB over CRs (10%). While no significant demographic influence was identified on the acceptance of CRs, a strong correlation was discovered between the education level and the acceptance of the RaFB intervention. RaFB was predominantly favored due to its lower implementation costs, reduced effort, lower risk, cultural compatibility, and demonstrated success in similar contexts. Conversely, highly educated refugees were more likely to reject RaFB, indicating potential influences from diverse cultural perspectives or access to alternate solutions. This study provides valuable insight into the potential advantages and challenges of implementing CRs and RaFB projects. It further underscores the need for policymakers to consider demographic factors and cultural nuances in future intervention designs to achieve SDG 2 more effectively.
