The crisis created by the conflicts in Syria was the largest displacement crisis in the world according to the report of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in 2016. turkey, Lebanon and Jordan were among the first countries to respond to the Syrian crisis and were directly affected by it because these countries share boundaries as well as historical relations with Syria. these countries are considered the most common abode for Syrian refugees. the purpose of this study is, therefore, to identify the nature of the humanitarian assistance received by Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan as low-income countries and what are the most critical problems they faced. the research also looks at how the Syrian refugee crisis can be dealt with and responded by these countries. through this comparison, many important points have been reached regarding the status of refugees within the Middle east region and the response mechanism in developing countries. However, many countries in the region do not have a clear policy applicable to refugee protection and are not a party to international refugee protection conventions. therefore, no special legal status protects and regulates refugees in many countries in the region.

THE DISCOURSES OF POLITICAL LEADERS TOWARDS SYRIAN REFUGEES IN LEBANON AND IMPLICATIONS FOR DOMESTIC POLITICS Dal, Derya; Benli Altunışık, Meliha; Department of Middle East Studies (2022-2-10) A tragic result of the prolonged conflict in Syria has been the refugee crisis that affected the international community in general, and the countries sharing borders with Syria in particular. Lebanon, a neighboring state to Syria, with a small territory and complex political system, has hosted the highest number of Syrian refugees per capita. Maintaining a fragile economic, social and political structure, Lebanon is greatly impacted by the arrival of a substantial number of refugees. Consequently, the refu...
The Limits of an International Burdensharing Approach: Syrian Refugee Protection Crisis and its Consequences Kale Lack, Başak (2018-09-01) This article analyses the consequences of the Syrian refugee protection crisis on the development of an effective international burden-sharing approach. It argues that despite the proven necessity of developing effective burden-sharing mechanisms at the EU and international levels, the Syrian refugee protection crisis has shown that limited progress has been achieved both at the international and the regional levels. This article brings these discussions under a systematic framework to show how the Syrian r...
THE IMPACT OF THE EU ON ASYLUM POLICIES OF TURKEY AND JORDAN IN THE LIGHT OF THE ‘SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS’ Yasin, Şadan; Göçer Akder, Derya; Department of Middle East Studies (2021-7-14) The Syrian Refugee Crisis became to be known as such after the irregular mass refugee/migrant flow of mostly Syrians to Europe in 2015. However, the greatest challenge of receiving the Syrians fleeing the outbreak of the Syrian conflict in 2011 belonged to the neighbouring countries to Syria. The asylum foundations and policies and their compatibility with international standards in these countries have come under scrutiny following this. The ‘crisis’ brought to the light the discrepancies and deficiencies ...
Understanding the new activism of Turkey in the Middle East: Turkey as an emerging soft power Şenol, Aylin; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of International Relations (2010) This thesis will examine the transformation in the Turkish foreign policy towards the Middle East and evaluate the relevance of “soft power” term for describing Turkey’s new activism in the region. Since the establishment of the Turkish Republic, Turkey has aligned itself with the Western world so that this alignment has been the main determinant of its relations with the non-Western world. The Middle East was not an exception in this process. After decades of remaining aloof from the Middle Eastern affairs...
