COPING WITH UNCERTAINTY: YOUTH IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA
Book ID/图书代码： 11908518C00014
English Summary/英文概要： Seven years since the Arab uprisings, the social situation has deteriorated across the Middle East and North Africa. Political, economic and personal insecurities have expanded, while income from tourism and oil has collapsed due to political instability. Against a backdrop of escalating armed conflicts and disintegrating state structures, many are forced from their homes, creating millions of internally displaced persons and refugees. Young people are often the ones hit hardest by the turmoil. How do they cope with these ongoing uncertainties, and what drives them to pursue their own dreams?
In this landmark volume, an international interdisciplinary team of researchers assess one of the most comprehensive, in-depth studies of young people in the MENA region to date. Nine thousand people aged 16-30 from Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen were surveyed using quantitative face-to-face interviews in summer 2016 and qualitative encounters during early 2017. Given how rapidly events have moved in the Middle East and North Africa, the findings are in many regards unexpected.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本具有里程碑意义的书提供了迄今为止对阿拉伯世界年轻人的最深入和全面的研究。
阿拉伯暴动七年后, 整个中东和北非的社会局势恶化。政治、经济和个人不安全状况有所扩大, 在武装冲突不断升级和国家结构解体的背景下, 许多人被迫离开家园, 造成数百万境内流离失所者和难民。年轻人往往是受动荡影响最严重的人。他们如何应对这些持续存在的不确定因素, 是什么驱使他们不顾这些困难去追求自己的梦想？
2016年和 2017年, 一个国际跨学科研究小组寻求这些问题的答案。他们采访了来自巴林、埃及、约旦、黎巴嫩、摩洛哥、巴勒斯坦、叙利亚、突尼斯和也门的 9, 000名16-30岁的年轻人。鉴于中东和北非的事态发展有多快, 本卷汇集在一起的调查结果在许多方面是出乎意料的。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：’This is a most useful contribution to the understanding of the upheaval that is shaking the Arab world, a diligent investigation whose value is enhanced by the dearth of reliable statistical sociological surveys of the region.’ --Gilbert Achcar, SOAS University of London, author of The People Want: A Radical Exploration of the Arab Uprising
’Youth in the Middle East continue to figure prominently in both political dissent and economic deprivation. The surveys and analyses in this book provide some of the best sources to understand the status of Arab youth in the years after the Arab Spring.’ --Asef Bayat, University of Illinois, author of Revolution without Revolutionaries: Making Sense of the Arab Spring
