Enhancing Social Stability and Cohesion to Reduce Conflict Risks in the MENA Region

Project description

Understanding conflict to build lasting peace

Tensions simmering beneath the surface in Jordan and Lebanon risk erupting into wider social unrest, yet international responses often lack the nuance required to prevent this. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the AMIN_MENA project will examine conflict dynamics, social stability and social cohesion in both countries. The project aims to guide smarter EU and international interventions. Using case studies and a mixed-method approach, including participatory action research, it explores conflict patterns and compares top-down policies with community perspectives. Its goal is to pinpoint practical, locally grounded measures to reduce the risk of internal conflict. As instability across the MENA region grows, this research offers timely, essential insights to strengthen peacebuilding efforts where they are most urgently needed.

Objective

The project has the overall objective to provide a broader understanding of conflict dynamics in Jordan and Lebanon and improve international organizations and EU programming on social cohesion and stability reducing the risks of internal social conflict outbreak in these countries. The action aims at assessing social cohesion in Jordan and social stability in Lebanon, by exploring internal conflict dynamics and identifying similar patterns and systematic differences. Moreover, it has the goal to identify concrete measures to increase social cohesion and stability in Lebanon and Jordan to reduce the risk of internal social conflict.
Given the current state of affairs in the MENA region, the relevance and urgency of this study are paramount in terms of both timing and scope. This project is intended to provide crucial insights pertaining to social cohesion and stability to the EU for its external endeavors in the Middle East, with a particular emphasis on Jordan and Lebanon.
This research not only addresses the existing gap in literature but also explores two case studies from both a top-down and bottom-up approach. It will employ a mixed-method methodology, with a significant focus on Participatory Action Research to ensure the inclusion of key stakeholder viewpoints in the research findings.
