Chapter I: Understanding the Syrian Refugee Crisis in Lebanon
Chapter II: Lebanese Syrian (In)Security Practices
Chapter III: (En)Gendering Lebanon Crisis Response Plan(s)
Chapter IV: Alternative Refugee Insecurity Narratives
Chapter V: A Vicious Cycle of Syrian Refugee Insecurities
This book offers a careful, multifaceted reading of the gendered politics and effects of the past years’ massive influx of Syrian refugees into Lebanon. It traces how Syrian refugees are perceived and governed in Lebanon, from the level of state policy down to the everyday experiences of Lebanese humanitarian volunteers who work with Syrian refugees, and demonstrates how gendered forms of insecurity are both addressed and produced through these processes.

The book offers an interesting insight into the multiple layers of insecurities from the vantage point of lives realities and experiences at the grass-roots. Such an engagement not only allows for a critical engagement with the subject matter of conflicts and insecurities, but expands the broader discipline of IR and strengthens the feminist perspective by bringing in the multiple realities of conflict. Brilliant for scholars and practitioners of IR and Feminist Theories of IR.
