Through a case study on Za'atari, the largest Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, this paper critically explores a contemporary example of intersection between local and global humanitarian and securitization processes in refugee governance. The paper argues that Syrian refugees have been subjected to humanitarian care and securitized treatment, with their construction in terms of potential threat to State security interests spiking in correlation with insecurities over the expansion of the “Islamic State” (IS). The paper tracks the suit of measures implemented by the host Jordanian State, with the support of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to produce docile refugee subjects of “humanitarian government” in a closed camp. It notes how the UNHCR invariably augments and extends the remit of Jordanian State power at the expense of refugee rights, in the name of ensuring refugee and aid worker security and the effectiveness of the aid operation. The camp plays a critical role in a performative politics of containment targeting local and global audiences.

约旦 Za'atari 难民营的人道主义、安全化和收容

通过对约旦最大的叙利亚难民营 Za'atari 的案例研究,本文批判性地探讨了当地和全球人道主义和安全化进程在难民治理中交叉的当代例子。该论文认为,叙利亚难民一直受到人道主义关怀和安全化待遇,他们对国家安全利益的潜在威胁与“伊斯兰国”(IS)扩张带来的不安全感相关联。该论文追踪了东道国约旦在联合国难民事务高级专员公署(UNHCR)的支持下实施的一系列措施,以在封闭的营地中培养出“人道主义政府”的温顺难民主体。它指出难民署如何以确保难民和援助人员安全以及援助行动的有效性为名,总是以牺牲难民权利为代价来扩大和扩大约旦国家权力的职权范围。该营地在针对本地和全球观众的遏制表演政治中发挥着关键作用。
