Summary:

"Capturing the unique dynamics of a Global South-South forced migration case, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of Syrian refugee insecurity in Lebanon. It applies a transnational feminist approach to explore the plight of Syrian women who are often absent from and generally neglected in refugee securitized practices"-- Provided by publisher.

While there has been a shift in security studies from the security of states to that of people, realpolitik still takes place under the banner of an emerging discourse of "refugee crisis." Located at the intersection of security studies and refugee scholarship, this book is both a process and a product. It explores the multi-leveled sites of refugee security construction and policy translation that play an instrumental role in informing how Syrian refugee insecurity is engendered and experienced in the case of Lebanon. It sheds light on how impromptu choices made by involved bodies-such as the Lebanese government and the UNHCR-can significantly impact local realities, creating a vicious cycle of Syrian refugee insecurities.
