During the event, the Palestinian issue was examined from an academic perspective. Discussions particularly focused on the deportation of students who participated in recent pro-Palestinian protests in the United States and the threats directed toward academia. Additionally, İbn Haldun University’s proposal to provide scholarships and employment support to expelled students and academics was brought to the table. The program concluded with discussions on how academic engagement can support Palestinian resistance.
Edited by Prof. Ramazan Aras (Department of Sociology, İbn Haldun University) and Assist. Prof. Ahmet Yusuf Özdemir (Department of Political Science and International Relations, İbn Haldun University), Palestine and The Future of Global Affairs was shaped by contributions from academics, human rights activists, journalists, and civil society representatives.
The book explores a wide range of critical topics, from academic freedom to global solidarity, daily resistance against settler colonialism, and media discourses. It offers an academic framework for discussing the tragedy experienced by the Palestinian people and their ongoing struggle on a global scale. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth analysis of the international community’s approach to the Palestinian issue and potential future scenarios.
Palestine and The Future of Global Affairs serves as an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the oppression faced by the Palestinian people and to evaluate it within the context of global relations.
