The wars which have torn the Middle East during the second half of the 20th century and the armed struggle of the Palestinian resistance at the end of the 1960s have had a strong influence on the structure of the Palestinian national movement leading to an important redefinition of Palestinian society. With no end in sight for the conflict, refugee camps take on new significance as memorials for the loss of Palestine. In 1969, the Palestine Liberation Organisation took over the running of Lebanese refugee camps. Since then, the image of the refugee surviving thanks to international aid has gradually been replaced by that of the fedayin. Thanks to their growing importance in the camps, the fedayin have created a concept of society based on the Palestinians’ desire to control their destiny.

Comment prévenir la première et établir, d’une manière durable, la seconde ? Ces questions ont hanté l’humanité entière, à la recherche de sa sécurité, depuis la nuit des temps. Ce dossier de l’Annuaire suisse de politique de développement reprend ces questions en examinant plus spécifiquement le rôle de la coopération internationale dans les dynamiques de conflit, de paix et de sécurité humaine. Le choix de ce thème s’est imposé pour diverses raisons. Depuis plus d’une décennie, les notions de paix et de sécurité « se sont invitées à la table » de la coopération internationale. La diplomatie « classique » s’occupe de plus en plus, depuis la fin de la guerre froide, de prévention et de règlement de conflits armés et de guerres. Parallèlement, la coopération au développement et l’aide humanitaire, confrontées aux événements tragiques du génocide rwandais en 1994, se sont trouvées contraintes de mieux tenir compte, dans leurs activit...

Generally viewed as the most vivid markers of the refugees' commitment to the right of return, they are simultaneously portrayed either as hubs of potential political dissent or as places of social marginalization that affect the country's drive towards liberal modernization. This article explores this dilemma through the analysis of the camp management policies pursued by national and international stakeholders since the early 1950s. Following a first historical section that investigates the origins of the camps in Jordan and tackles their representations within the Jordanian society at large, the article goes on highlighting the political and socioeconomic stakes involved in the development of camps’ physical and housing infrastructure. In so doing, it sheds a new light on the “right of return”. A rallying slogan across the Palestinian society and the Arab world as a whole, the “right of return” has also constituted an operational norm that has deeply influenced the camps’ evolution patterns as well as Jordan’s urban landscape.
