Det må med det samme understreges, at disse faenomener for det første ikke-som forskningsfelter-er undersøgt i samme omfang, og for det andet hverken i den danske eller den udenlandske litteratur er belyst inden for rammerne af de samme faglige forskningstraditioner. Der er-såvel i udlandet som herhjemme-efterhånden en omfattende litteratur, der i et traditionelt sociologisk perspektiv kortlaegger og analyserer unge indvandreres uddannelsesmaessige forhold, mens såvel fritidsområdet som unges indvandreres sociale og intime liv kun er statistisk undersøgt i relativt beskedent omfang. Forskningen inden for disse områder er hyppigere mere antropologisk anlagte undersøgelser. Dette vilkår vil praege den følgende fremstilling. Der er ikke udarbejdet et selvstaendigt afsnit omhandlende referencer, datamateriale og analysemetoder (skrivevejledningen, pkt. 5).

The presidential election, which is going to take place in 2014-and which used to be a thing decided in Damascus-has become an important theme in the fragile situation in Lebanon, not the least because it is completely impossible to foresee how the war in Syria will end. The sensitive situation is deepened by the apparent fact that both sides in Lebanon, Hezbollah as well as the Future Movement alliance, are sending men and weapons into Syria. Furthermore the internal problems in Lebanon are influenced by the almost 800.000 Syrian refugees having fled to Lebanon. The potential regional and international repercussions are significant: both the US and the EU are having trouble dealing with the complex situation in Lebanon, where both March 8 and March 14 parliamentarians supposedly will be relevant negotiation partners beyond a possible post-Assad scenario.

It is stated, that “UNHCR’s foremost priority remains to ensure that Jordan’s largely favourable protection environment is maintained in 2015, despite new arrivals of Syrians potentially further straining already limited resources.” The Jordanian approach to receiving what in the planning figures for 2015 together with the ones already arrived will add up to almost three quarters of a million Syrian refugees, has been one of hospitality, despite, as noted in the update, substantial problems for a country with approximately 6.5 million inhabitants with relatively scarce Jordanian resources.

Also the EU has in rounds of tightening sanctions attempted to influence the tragic development in Syria. The EU has thereby – confronted with the clampdown on the Syrian opposition by the Syrian armed forces – given up on years of efforts aiming at entering deals with Syria, that never included the Ba’ath regime into the group of ENP-states, with which the EU gradually develops closer cooperation. The sanctions by the EU, the US, the Arab League, Turkey etc. are putting increasing pressure on the Syrian regime and the elite around it. It is the ambition of this article to describe and analyze the sanctions and discuss to which degree they have influenced the situation in Syria. Furthermore the article seeks to shed light on strategic regional and international dimensions of the sanctions against Syria with a foc...

Syria, being one of the larger producers of migrants in the MENA-region, is obviously influenced by the historical, political and societal changes over time. The article describes and analyzes the Syrian migration to Lebanon and the Gulf, taking its theoretical point of departure in the concept of non-traditional security. Migration is challenging national security as a result of its anarchistic character and this theme plays a significant role in the article. Furthermore the article focuses on to which degree the migration phenomenon can be seen as an expression of transnational integration. Syrian migration to Lebanon has been (and is) an important economic asset for the huge amount of Syrian workers who have taken care of many different, but often unskilled, job functions in Lebanon – and for the Syrian state. It has been influenced by the turbulent political relations betwee...

The article considers the ENP and UfM as building stones in a foreign policy regime on behalf of the EU. The idea of analyzing EU policies as a regime is inspired by Roland Dannreuther, who in an article in 2007, quoting Stephen D. Krasner, suggested that EU’s greater Middle East strategy could best be defined as one of regime building, where the purpose of the regime is to ‚define rules, norms, principles and procedures that focus expectations regarding international behavior‛. In this article the point is taken further, discussing the newest organizational expressions of foreign policy ambitions on behalf of the EU, the ENP and the UfM, as the development of a new regime, which can be perceived as a step towards developing a specific EU ‚a...
