Concluding Remarks
• History and historical context matters• Social ‘differentiation’ appears to
promote sympathy and local integration• Self settlement preferred by most
refugees; UNHCR camp template generally rejected;
• For many Syrians, conditions are intolerable; onward migration will grow as conditions worsen
