<研究創案ノート>ヨルダンにおける難民支援ネットワークの多様性と有機的連帯

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed a considerable surge of interest in Islamic activism in various ways such as charitable work throughout the World, which shapes the broad range of social institutions. It operates both inside and outside the confines of markets and states. The issue of refugees on the other hand is obviously not new in the realm of global politics. It has been observed that throughout human history, the issue has occupied an important place on the contemporary international agenda. Jordan is a rich field where a variety of charitable organizations work, since it has been experiencing a continuous influx of large numbers of refugees from neighboring countries. The majority settle in the urban areas of either the city Amman or the northern part of Jordan. This article first examines how the regime and the local community have dealt with the influx and engaged in refugee relief. In contrast to previous research focusing on Islamic activism, which states there is no organizational network in Jordan, this article shows the possibility of the linkage of organizations concerned with refugee relief work within an urban area, if we consider the city of Amman as an organic system.
