This book examines the unfolding of the Syrian refugee crisis in
relation to the spillover of the Syrian civil war in Lebanon and
against the background of Lebanon-Syria relations and Lebanon's
socio-political, cultural, legal, and economic conditions. It
surveys Lebanon's response plans to the refugee crisis as part of
the development of the international response plans to address the
protection and needs of the Syrian refugees and Palestinian
refugees from Syria, as well as the impacted host communities and
institutions. At the same time, this book emphasizes the dramatic
shift in popular and institutional attitudes towards the refugees
as a response to and as a growth of the sheer magnitude of the
refugee crisis, which made Lebanon the only country in modern
history with the highest per capita concentration of refugees in
the world. By examining these attitudes against the background of
achievements and failures of the response plans, the impact of the
crisis on state institutions on the local and national levels, and
the collective consciousness of a nation barely surviving the scars
of its civil war, this book not only underscores the deepening
tragedy of Syrian and Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, but also the
consequential tragedy of many Lebanese, who have been forced into
poverty and whose livelihoods have been affected by insecurity and
the almost complete collapse of social services. As a result, the
tragedy of the Syrian refugee crisis has become an international
crisis affecting vulnerable persons across nationalities, and,
unless it is addressed diplomatically and its response plans
sufficiently funded, the tragedy will only deepen across
continents.
