<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The massive dimensions of Syria's refugee crisis--and the search for solutions <p/>The civil war in Syria has forced some 10 million people--more than half the country's population--from their homes and communities, creating one of the largest human displacements since the end of World War II. Daily headlines testify to their plight, both within Syria and in the countries to which they have fled. <p/> <i>The Consequences of Chaos</i> looks beyond the ever-increasing numbers of Syria's uprooted to consider the long-term economic, political, and social implications of this massive movement of people. Neighboring countries hosting thousands or even millions of refugees, Western governments called upon to provide financial assistance and even new homes for the refugees, regional and international organizations struggling to cope with the demands for food and shelter--all have found the Syria crisis to be overwhelming in its challenges. And the challenges of finding solutions for those displaced by the conflict are likely to continue for years, perhaps even for decades. <p/>The Syrian displacement crisis raises fundamental questions about the relationship between action to resolve conflicts and humanitarian aid to assist the victims and demonstrates the limits of humanitarian response, even on a massive scale, to resolve political crises. The increasingly protracted nature of the crisis also raises the need for the international community to think beyond just relief assistance and adopt developmental policies to help refugees become productive members of their host communities.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Nearly 12 million people have been forced to leave their homes and communities because of the civil war consuming Syria. The displacement, internally and externally, of more than half of the country's population--one of the largest forced movements of people since the end of World War II--has transformed the region. It has also triggered a wave of political turbulence in Europe as hundreds of thousands have fled across the Mediterranean to seek refuge. <p/> <i>The Consequences of Chaos</i> details the plight of Syria's uprooted citizens and examines the long-term economic, political, and social implications of this massive movement of people. The humanitarian crisis has been overwhelming for all actors involved. Neighboring countries host almost five million Syrian refugees with no end in sight. European institutions struggle to come up with a coherent approach to the crisis. The United Nations appeals for increasing levels of financial support to respond to the demands for food, shelter, and medical care. A New Global Approach for Syria is needed, the authors maintain, and they propose an innovative system of burden sharing to respond to the humanitarian crisis in both the short and longer term.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Elizabeth Ferris</b> is a senior research associate in Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and a nonresident senior fellow in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution.
