Öğe Climate change and the Arab uprisings(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2020) Demir, Sevim; Özcan, GencerABSTRACT: The Arab uprising is generally perceived as the revolutionary movements against authoritarian regimes in the Arab region. Therefore, the triggering factors to the social unrests have been determined in the political-economical, and sociological aspects of society. This thesis aims to provide a link between climate change and social unrest in the Arab world. The research mainly focuses on the Arab uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, and Libya and addresses the underlying factors to the outbreak of social protests. Therefore, it involves an analysis of the general impacts of climate change across the world together with international and regional cooperation. As a consequence of the study, the main purpose is to provide a comprehensive approach to climate change and conflict interaction. In this regard, the paper reveals the interaction between environmental and socio-political factors for further understanding of how mass protests have begun in the Arab region and what was the underlying reasons. The case studies show that political and sociological discontent could turn into mass protests when exacerbating factors appear in society. In the end, it is vital to say that the study does not claim that climate change could lead to social unrest; rather it claims that climate change exacerbates current political and economic conditions that could translate into mass social protests.
