Migration Policy Centre ; This report provides an overview of Syrian migration to Turkey since the start of the revolt in Syria in March 2011. The number of displaced Syrians crossing the border into Turkey has dramatically risen with the escalating use of violence employed by the Syrian regime ito suppress the revolt. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, 182,621 Syrian refugees were living in Turkey mid-February 2013 (http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/regional.php). With the influx of huge numbers of Syrians into Turkey, anti-immigrant, anti-Arab discourses have surfaced among the Turkish public. Furthermore, due to the Turkish governments' openly hostile position to the Syrian regime, Syrian migration became closely linked with Turkish domestic politics and foreign policy. Those individuals and political bodies critical of the Turkish government assumed an anti-immigrant position accusing displaced Syrians of being armed, sectarian rebels. Therefore, analyzing the Syrian migrant community in Turkey means contextualizing it within the political framework of the host-society. ; The MPC is co-financed by the European University Institute and the European Union

"The civil war in Syria has gravely impacted Turkey - currently it alone hosts more than two million refugees from Syria. A great majority of these refugees live around the cities along the Turkish-Syrian border. With no end in sight, Turkey, as the country that hosts more refugees than any other state in the world, has reached a significant threshold in its ability to unilaterally deal with and sustain its response to the situation. In order to deal with the three different dimensions of the refugee crisis, a multilayered approach needs to be established by a global coalition of countries." (author's abstract)

This article aims to examine the complex power dynamics that impact Syrian refugees during their protracted stay in Lebanon. Covert and overt regional and international agendas, deep-seated local anxieties and weak governance, and an apocalyptic civil war, have placed millions of refugees on 'shifting sands'. Following four and a half years of turmoil, feeble political ententes and 'superstitious' ambitions depict the bloody landscape of a fragmenting Levant. In wake of the centennial, Sykes-Picot lines are looming as moribund and aggravate venomous rivalries that are heaping coal on the sectarian strife. Within this context, relief operations represent band-aids for critical wounds that are only getting deeper by the day. In order to efficiently support refugees undergoing dire conditions in unfolding madness, it is imperative to envisage practical, contextual, and efficient operations that go beyond simplistic and ornate overtures, calling to the reconfiguration of relief mechanisms.

Our primary goal in this presentation is to provide a comprehensive review of literature as it pertains to the influence of the Syrian Refugee crisis in Jordan, Turkey and Germany.These countries have experienced an enormous influx of refugees which has caused a need for economic and political concern. First, we will examine the history of Syrian Civil War that led to the displacement of Syrian individuals and families. Second, we will evaluate the effects of Syrian migration on the economical and political situation in Jordan, Turkey, Germany. We will discuss the various policies implemented in each of the countries that either hinder or promote development and sustainability due to the change in population. We will propose policies that are both beneficial to the structure of these countries and supportive of the humanitarian well-being of the refugees themselves. In conclusion, we will discuss the implications that the refugee crisis has on the USA as well as practical steps we can take in our locally to support the incoming Syrian refugees who will resettle in our communities.

The Syrian crisis has caused one of the greatest episodes of forced displacement since World War II and some of the densest refugee-hosting situations in modern history. Lebanon has hosted more than 1 million Syrian refugees. This article is based on a large multisectoral survey of Syrian refugees' households in Bekaa, conducted by the Union of Relief and Development Associations (URDA) in the period 2016–17 with a total of 1614 households and 6199 individuals. It assesses the socio-economic and living conditions of this representative sample (i.e., the location of refugees and housing conditions, the legal status of refugees, family expenditure, shelter, displacement, education, work, health, child health including child marriage). Among many vulnerabilities experienced by Syrian refugees, we identify three salient domains of precariousness, which are education, health, and early marriage. A particular analysis covers the differential analysis between camp dwellers versus urban ones, and the conviviality of the former compared with the latter.

Abdel Baset Bushi, 56, hails from the Syrian city of Binnish, in northern Idlib province. Before the war, he used to travel regularly between Beirut and his hometown for both work and play. These days, however, he finds himself stuck in the Lebanese capital. Bushi and his family fled Syria last year, when the regime's bombardment of Binnish became too intense. According to the UN, more than 800,000 Syrian refugees are in Lebanon. The scope of the crisis has put an enormous strain on Lebanon's domestic politics, its humanitarian assistance efforts and the local economy. Home, for now, is where he ends up. He hopes to be resettled along with his family somewhere in the West, hut isn't picky about his final destination. Adapted from the source document.

Abstract
This article proposes a strategy to identify Syrian refugees in Turkey's Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS). Even though Turkey's HLFS contains information on the migrants' year of arrival to Turkey, it does not provide details on their nationalities. This unfortunate feature mixes Syrian refugees with the standard flow of migration who arrived to Turkey during the Syrian war. I propose to eliminate the standard flow of migrants arrived between 2011 and 2017 by matching them (based on their characteristics) with the migrants arrived in the 2004–2010 period. This method obtains, indirectly, nonstandard migration, i.e., Syrian refugees. The results show that the age distribution of the nonstandard migrants identified matches the age distribution of Syrian refugees as officially released by the Turkish government. At last, I propose a post-stratification adjustment of the survey weights to find the actual geographical distribution of Syrian refugees in Turkey.

The manuscript analyzes the current refugee's crisis in Europe and the situation of the Syrian refugees in Syria's neighboring countries such as Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The presented comparative analysis between the first instance decisions in asylum policies of several European countries is accompanied by additional statistics of the refugee's influx. Several suggestions related to the necessary measures to be taken in short and long term in order to ensure more sustainable migration patterns are discussed in detail.
