Abstract

Bu çalışma, Suriye devriminin Ras Al Ain ve Tal Abyad bölgelerinde uluslararası ticaret değişimine olan etkisini araştırmaktadır. Çalışma, devrim öncesi, sırası ve sonrasındaki ticaret desenlerindeki değişiklikleri analiz etmeyi ve bu değişiklikleri etkileyen faktörleri keşfetmeyi amaçlamaktadır Araştırma, keşfedici ve tarihsel bir yaklaşım benimseyerek öncelikle nitel yöntemlere birleştirmektedir. Farklı ticaret sektörlerinde faaliyet gösteren yerel tüccarlarla gerçekleştirilen detaylı görüşmeler, farklı dönemlerde ticaret üzerine kişisel deneyimleri ve bakış açılarını anlamak için kritik önem amaçlanmaktadır. Bulgular, devrim sırasında uluslararası ticaretin önemli ölçüde aksadığını ve ticaret akışlarını olumsuz etkilediğini koymaktadır. Ancak devrim sonrasında, bölgeler arasında ticaret değişim hızlarında belirgin bir iyileşme ve artış yaşandığı görülmektedir. Bu nitel bulgular, siyasi çalkantı ile ticaret dinamikleri arasındaki karmaşık ilişkiyi derinlemesine anlamamızda büyük bir katkı sağlamaktadadır.

AN IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE EXCHANGE IN NORTH SYRIA

Abstract

This research project delves into the profound impact of the Syrian revolution on international trade exchange within the regions of Ras Al Ain and Tal Abyad. The study scrutinizes trade pattern transformations before, during, and after the revolution while closely examining the catalysts behind these shifts. Employing an exploratory and historical methodology, this research predominantly uses qualitative methods. Extensive interviews were conducted with local merchants spanning various trade sectors, extracting invaluable insights into their experiences and viewpoints regarding trade across distinct periods. The findings bear a substantial disruption in international trade during the revolution, exerting a detrimental influence on trade flows. However, a discernible convalescence is witnessed post-revolution, underscored by a noteworthy surge in trade exchange rates between the regions. These revelations significantly enhance our comprehension of the intricate interplay between political turmoil and trade dynamics in regions gripped by conflict, mainly through the personal narratives and detailed accounts provided by those directly involved in the trade sector.
