Abstract

The article discusses the shift in the international humanitarian response to the Syrian refugee crisis from short-term emergency relief to a development and resilience-based approach. This shift was prompted by the protracted nature of the conflict and the need for long-term solutions. While the integration of humanitarianism with development has its benefits, it also raises concerns about the dilution of refugee rights and the entanglement of aid organizations with government agendas. The author argues for an indeterminative critique of resilience, acknowledging both its neoliberal echoes and the need for structural solutions to displacement. [Extracted from the article]
