Why is it important?
This research is of significant importance for several reasons. Firstly, it addresses a critical area of Jordan's foreign policy, namely its approach towards Syrian refugees. Secondly, it assesses the sustainability of Jordan's humanitarian diplomacy strategy, a topic with implications for both the nation's internal stability and its standing in the international community. The findings have revealed growth in Jordan's foreign policy influence, leading to bilateral agreements and participation in international negotiations. However, a notable concern is the financial sustainability of the humanitarian strategy, given the insufficient funding from foreign countries and international organizations to support the increasing number of Syrian refugees in Jordan.
Perspectives
For individuals engaged in international relations or humanitarian affairs, this research offers a valuable insight into Jordan's approach to a critical global issue. Policymakers may find this research particularly pertinent, as it provides practical insights into the impact of humanitarian diplomacy on foreign policy decisions. Moreover, researchers in the field of humanitarian studies may appreciate the combined qualitative systematic literature review and quantitative data analysis approach. The research provides a strong foundation for future quantitative research to understand the broader effects of the strategy on healthcare and education for Syrian refugees in Jordan. Overall, this research is a substantial contribution to the discussion on humanitarian diplomacy and its consequences for both foreign policy and the welfare of vulnerable populations.
