A common narrative of the Syrian conflict suggests that it began with a grassroots uprising and devolved into a violent war between armed actors, leaving civilians to become victims or warriors. A more careful consideration of developments in and around Syria uncovers evidence of continued unarmed mobilization among civilians. Indeed, refugees in neighboring countries like Jordan are deeply engaged in humanitarian, developmental, and political endeavors. In this study, qualitative research and a unique survey together demonstrate that Syrians in Jordan have engaged in abundant activism on behalf of the Syrian cause. Still, the overwhelming militarism and humanitarianism that have characterized the Syrian crisis have had their impacts: activist organization is constricted and configured by security imperatives and, paradoxically, by the aid regime assisting civilians in the conflict. In turn, activism has evolved from grassroots mobilization to a formal and aid-based response to a humanitarian crisis.

协助行动主义？人道主义对约旦动员的叙利亚难民的影响

叙利亚冲突的一个共同叙事表明，它始于基层起义，演变成武装行为者之间的暴力战争，使平民成为受害者或战士。对叙利亚及其周围地区的事态发展进行更仔细的考虑后，发现了平民继续进行非武装动员的证据。确实，像约旦这样的邻国中的难民深深地从事人道主义，发展和政治方面的努力。在这项研究中，定性研究和一项独特的调查共同表明，约旦的叙利亚人已经为叙利亚事业开展了广泛的活动。尽管如此，叙利亚危机所具有的压倒性的军国主义和人道主义仍然产生了影响：维权组织受到安全势力的束缚和配置，而自相矛盾的是，援助政权协助冲突中的平民。反过来，行动主义已从基层动员演变为对人道主义危机的正式和以援助为基础的对策。
