Abstract
This master thesis examines how being exposed to conflict and the displacement thereafter, affect the formation of peer relationships among young irregular immigrants in the Netherlands. It examines how the social trauma brought on by conflict and the diminished regard for the authority of the political system of the person's "home" country affect the development of peer relationships within a “host” country. Thereby, examining how the social interactions of these young people are impacted by the political unrest in the home nation, how they are formed by legitimacy and discourses in a “host” nation and are disrupted due to the policies surrounding irregular migration routes. Additionally, the research also investigates how coloniality and the rhetoric surrounding irregular migration have affected this development of shared lived experiences and the emergence of a third culture that cuts through linguistic and cultural barriers.
This research advances the awareness of how conflict and flight influence young irregular migrants' ability to form peer relationships in the Netherlands. It highlights the roles that social trauma, unauthorized migratory routes, political arena, and colonialism played in creating these relationships. The study argues for more research into the intricate processes that transcend traditional national boundaries and stresses how important it is to give these young people loving environments.
