Political and Humanitarian Responses to Syrian Displacement - Sarah (American University Deardorff Miller - Bog

This book examines Syrian displacement since the start of the 2011 conflict. It provides information on displacement (the scale, scope and trends), and in-depth analysis on how it affects regional politics; the role of international organizations responding to the displaced; and EU/US responses to Syrian displacement. It relates Syrian displacement to broader peace strategies, arguing that displacement is not a mere symptom or byproduct of the conflict, but a key variable that must be addressed with any peace plan or strategy for ending the conflict and rebuilding Syria. Thus, the way refugees are dealt with is not just a humanitarian concern, but also a political, security and economic issue.
