DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nRefugee populations are often perceived as an unexp
 ected\, disruptive\, and temporary burden. This perception often drives co
 untries of asylum to adopt short-term and exclusionary policies regarding 
 refugees’ rights and settlements strategies. Almost 85% of the world’s ref
 ugees are in the Middle East & North Africa. This region has witnessed dur
 ing the last few decades two of the most significant refugee crises. First
 \, with the Palestinian refugee influx in 1948. Second\, with the Syrian c
 onflict after 2011. While in Turkey\, the Syrian refugee population is est
 imated to be of nearly 3.5 million\, Lebanon is hosting almost 500\,000 Pa
 lestinians and 1.5 million Syrians.\n\nThis presentation compares refugee 
 hosting and settlements policies in Turkey and in Lebanon. It seeks to dem
 onstrate that in Lebanon\, the same policies\, those adopted 70 years ago 
 vis-à-vis the Palestinians\, are being implemented today with Syrian refug
 ees. These policies are based on institutional\, social\, economic and spa
 tial exclusion.\n\nSeeking to dissuade refugees from staying\, they engend
 er similar drawbacks: competition over housing and jobs\, refugee exploita
 tion\, increasing poverty\, growing social tensions\, security breaches\, 
 and (sometimes armed) ghettoization. The Lebanese experience will be then 
 compared with the Turkish hosting policies for Syrian refugees\, with an e
 mphasis on the Turkey-EU deal.\n\nThis panel highlights the importance of 
 long-term planning and development strategies for refugees. It examines th
 e benefits of integrative approaches and refugee empowerment for both refu
 gee and host populations.\n\nThe panellists\n\n\n	Rouba Al-Salem is a Stein
