本文分析了难民的合法性和非法性的产生，以及它是如何经历、谈判和塑造年轻的巴勒斯坦和叙利亚难民在约旦和黎巴嫩发展的可能性。在这两个国家，难民的合法和非法身份是在国家和国际安全--以及经济利益--之间的相互作用中产生的。本文讨论了与长期流离失所相关的发展的意义。尽管越来越强调从人道主义办法转向长期难民局势中的发展，但黎巴嫩和约旦年轻难民的经历表明，法律地位的产生阻碍了发展的潜力。本文从保持合法的劳动、进入和退出合法的经历及其对教育和就业的影响三个方面分析了年轻人对其法律地位的体验。分析表明，(Il)合法性的产生是一个减法过程，导致衰弱和受限制的代理，而不是发展。总之，这篇文章反思了从人道主义角度使用发展话语的问题，以及有必要对长期流离失所中的发展的意义进行更具批判性的讨论。
This article analyses the production of legality and illegality of refugees and how it is experienced, negotiated, and shape young Palestinian and Syrian refugees’ possibilities for development in Jordan and Lebanon. In the two countries, refugees’ legal and illegal statuses are produced in the interaction between national and international security- and economic interests. This article discusses the meanings of development associated with protracted displacement. Despite increased emphasis on moving from a humanitarian approach towards development in long-term refugee situations, the experiences of young refugees in Lebanon and Jordan show that the production of legal status hampers the potential for development. This article analyses young people’s experience of their legal status by addressing the labour of staying legal, the experience of moving in and out of legality and its impact on education and employment. The analysis shows how the production of (il)legality is a subtracting process that leads to debilitation and constrained agency rather than development. In conclusion, this article thus reflects on the problem of using the development discourse with a humanitarian lens and the need for more critical discussion on the meaning of development in protracted displacement.
