Zusammenfassung:The large and continuing refugee stream that arose from the long-lived Syrian Civil War that began in 2011 has deeply affected the politics and demography of the countries of the eastern Mediterranean. This book’s chapters suggest several cross-cutting themes or phenomena. First, they highlight the problem of alterity or othering as a central feature of the reactions to the Syrian mass migration challenge. Second, human tendencies to xenophobia and fear of difference and change have played a key role in producing broad popular ill-will and government opposition to assisting Syria’s displaced. Finally, these currents merged, although at varying speeds and to changing degrees during the decade of the Syrian migration, to generate calls by many individuals that migrants and refugees constituted a security threat to be met with demonization and removal and/or with efforts to ensure they were kept ‘at bay’ at all costs
