Abstract

This article investigates the impact of the Syrian displacement on the economic and urban transformation in Ouzaii, a major informal settlement in the southern suburbs of Beirut that is characterised by a complex socio-political structure. It explores the potential of “entrepreneurial systems” that emerge when Syrian refugees become part of the host community and its economy. These systems include Syrian refugees as either part of the lower labour force, business owners, or entrepreneurs. The article locates these entrepreneurial systems within the spatial networks and investigates how Syrian refugees create opportunities for themselves and the host community given the specificity of the market that is subject to legal setups and mediated by the political party of Hezbollah. It uses the construct of “mixed embeddedness” by Kloosterman et al. and the notion of “quiet encroachment” by Asef Bayat to understand how the Syrian refugees were able to infiltrate into Ouzaii’s economy and become part of the “entrepreneurial systems” that stimulate the economic cycle and revitalise the urban space.

叙利亚难民创业系统对东道国经济的促进作用:以黎巴嫩乌扎伊为例
本文调查了叙利亚流离失所对Ouzaii经济和城市转型的影响,Ouzaii是贝鲁特南郊的一个主要非正式定居点,其特点是复杂的社会政治结构。它探讨了当叙利亚难民成为收容社区及其经济的一部分时所出现的“创业系统”的潜力。这些系统包括叙利亚难民,他们要么是较低劳动力的一部分,要么是企业主,要么是企业家。本文在空间网络中定位了这些创业系统,并调查了叙利亚难民如何为自己和收容社区创造机会,因为市场的特殊性受制于法律设置,并由真主党政党调解。本文采用Kloosterman等人提出的“混合嵌入性”(mixed embeddedness)概念和Asef Bayat提出的“无声侵蚀”(quiet encroencrotion)概念,来理解叙利亚难民如何能够渗透到乌扎伊的经济中,并成为刺激经济周期和振兴城市空间的“创业系统”的一部分。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
