Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to the Syrian conflict, which began in March 2011 and quickly escalated into a civil war, resulting in a significant humanitarian crisis. The conflict has devastated Syria’s infrastructure and economy, forcing millions to flee, with Lebanon becoming a primary destination for refugees. The chapter discusses the profound impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on Lebanon, emphasizing the strain on its economy, infrastructure, and public services. It highlights Lebanon’s socio-political and economic landscape, marked by historical instability and resilience. The chapter sets the stage for a comprehensive economic analysis of the refugee crisis’s impact on Lebanon, integrating economic theories and sociological perspectives to provide a nuanced understanding and practical policy recommendations.
