Lebanon hosts the highest number of refugees per capita worldwide
and is central to European policies of outsourcing migration
management. Hybrid Political Order and the Politics of Uncertainty
is the first book to critically and comprehensively explore the
parallels between the country's engagement with the recent Syrian
refugee influx and the more protracted Palestinian presence.
Drawing on fieldwork, qualitative case-studies, and critical policy
analysis, it questions the dominant idea that the haphazardness,
inconsistency, and fragmentation of refugee governance are only the
result of forced displacement or host state fragility and the
related capacity problems. It demonstrates that the endemic
ambiguity that determines refugee governance also results from a
lack of political will to create coherent and comprehensive rules
of engagement to address refugee 'crises.' Building on emerging
literatures in the fields of critical refugee studies, hybrid
governance, and ignorance studies, it proposes an innovative
conceptual framework to capture the spatial, temporal, and
procedural dimensions of the uncertainty that refugees face and to
tease out the strategic components of the reproduction and
extension of such informality, liminality, and exceptionalism. In
developing the notion of a 'politics of uncertainty,' ambiguity is
explored as a component of a governmentality that enables the
control, exploitation, and expulsion of refugees. Introduction
