This book endeavors to show how normal people placed in extraordinarily difficult conditions created protections for their assets and buffered against outsider predation through property rights. The research project focuses on Palestinians living in seven refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan. Using interviews with 200 Palestinian refugees, legal title documents, memoirs, and United Nations Relief Works Agency archives the author traces the evolution of property rights from informal understandings of ownership to formal legal claims of assets and resources to shed light on how communities thrive in challenging political economic spaces. Initially, Palestinians deployed bits and pieces of their pre-refugee life to craft property rights that met the challenges of living in refugee camps. Later, as the camps increased in complexity with expanding markets and new outsiders entering the political fray, then Palestinians strategically melded their informal institutional practices with the formal rules of political outsiders. Palestinian refugees, to varying degrees of success, managed to protect their assets and community from predation and state incorporation.Columbia studies in Middle East politics.Refugee property, PalestinianLebanonRefugee property, PalestinianJordanRight of propertyLebanonRight of propertyJordanRefugee campsLebanonRefugee campsJordanPalestinian ArabsClaimsRefugee property, PalestinianRefugee property, PalestinianRight of propertyRight of propertyRefugee campsRefugee campsPalestinian ArabsClaims.323.4/6091749274Hajj Nadya1047748MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798937303321Protection amid chaos3753241UNINA01512oam 2200457zu 450 991087275130332120241212215003.0(CKB)111026746739726(SSID)ssj0000445493(PQKBManifestationID)12138945(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000445493(PQKBWorkID)10485567(PQKB)11358287(EXLCZ)9911102674673972620160829d1995 uy engtxtccrNinth International Software Process Workshop : proceedings, Airlie, Virginia, October 5-7, 1994[Place of publication not identified]IEEE Computer Society Press1995Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9780818667701 0818667702 Computer softwareCongressesEngineering & Applied SciencesHILCCComputer ScienceHILCCComputer softwareEngineering & Applied SciencesComputer Science005.1/01/9Ghezzi CarloACM SigsoftIEEE Computer SocietyInternational Software Processing AssociationInternational Software Process WorkshopPQKBBOOK9910872751303321Ninth International Software Process Workshop : proceedings, Airlie, Virginia, October 5-7, 19942532245UNINA
