Enemy Images and Conflict

Bu çalışma sosyal ve uluslararası uyuşmazlıklarda çok sık gözlenen hasmane önyargılara ilişkin analitik bir tartışma sunmaktadır. Çalışmada vurgulanan ana tema hasmane önyargıların uyuşmazlığa taraf partiler arasında psikolojik bariyerler yaratarak çözümü zora soktuğu, bu sebeple ortadan kaldırılmalarının öncelikli bir zorunluluk olduğudur. Sırasıyla hasmane önyargıların nedenleri, uyuşmazlığa taraf partiler üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri ve bunlarla mücadele yollan ele alınmaktadır. Ayrıca negatif önyargıların çok boyutlu bir sorun olduğu, bu yüzden de çok yönlü bir mücadele ortaya konması gereğinin altı çizilmektedir.

Hasmane Önyargılar ve Uyuşmazlık

This work provides an analytical discussion for commonly-held negative stereotypes in conflict situations, known as enemy images. It emphasizes that enemy images cerate serious obstacles to conflict resolution by creating psychological barriers between the parties and making them cognitively antagonistic to each other. Therefore, removing hostile images must be a first priority on the way to resolving a conflict. The underlying causes of enemy images, their impact on the behaviors of conflicting parties and strategies utilized to remove such images are discussed, in that order. Special attention is given to the need for a comprehensive effort to cope with enemy images.
