Yulia Ioffe (University College London; University of Oxford) has posted Review: The Politics of Crisis-Making - Forced Displacement and Cultures of Assistance in Lebanon by Estella Carpi on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Estella Carpi's book 'The Politics of Crisis-Making. Forced Displacement and Cultures of Assistance in Lebanon' offers a timely exploration of chronic crises and refugee influxes in Lebanon. Given the reignited conflict in the Middle East and the lack of any foreseeable resolution, the book is bound to become essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and humanitarian workers seeking insight into the region. Moreover, as I will elaborate later, the arguments and observations in the book hold relevance beyond Lebanon, offering critical perspectives on humanitarian systems and interventions in need of urgent reform.
