Political and Humanitarian Responses to Syrian Displacement

This book examines Syrian displacement since the start of the 2011 conflict. It considers how neighboring refugee-hosting states namely Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon have responded to Syrian refugees, as well as how the international humanitarian community has assisted and protected refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Miller examines Syrian displacement as it relates to EU and US policies, and relates Syrian displacement to broader themes and debates on the international refugee regime and humanitarian intervention.

The book argues that displacement is not a mere symptom or byproduct of the conflict in Syria, but a key variable that must be addressed with any peace plan or strategy for ending the conflict and rebuilding Syria. Responses to displacement should therefore not just be thought of in a humanitarian context, but also as a political, security and economic issue.

Drawing on media reports, research briefs, scholarly books and articles, NGO reports and UN research to contextualize and critically analyze the blur of headlines and rhetoric on Syria, the book seeks to shed light on the political and humanitarian responses to displacement. It seeks to inform policymakers, practitioners and scholars about the current Syrian displacement situation, helping to make sense of the ocmplex web of literature on Syrian refugees and IDPs.

Sarah Deardorff Miller is Adjunct Faculty in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C., USA and the University of London, School of Advanced Study, UK.

Syrian displacement since 2011 is among the worst in a generation. It has dominated headlines and altered the political and humanitarian landscape across the Middle East, Europe and beyond. It has evoked comments and action from figures like the Pope, rock stars and world leaders alike. And while there are certainly other conflicts and situations of displacement around the world, Syria is proving to be a game changer for how states, humanitarian actors and others respond to displacement.

Since 2011, the world has watched as violence has torn Syria apart, forcing millions to be displaced from their homes. There are some 4.8 million refugees that have fled to neighboring Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, with smaller numbers going to Iraq, Egypt and beyond. Another 6.6 million have been displaced within Syria.1 They are often the most vulnerable, including the elderly, disabled and sick, and have sought refuge with family and friends, or wherever they can find it.
