Political and Humanitarian Responses to Syrian Displacement

By Sarah Deardorff Miller

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.
