项目摘要

The RELIEF Centre will research pathways to achieving inclusive growth in the context of mass displacement and movement of people around the world. Achieving inclusive growth involves looking beyond monetary indicators and GDP, and towards multidimensional notions of prosperity that reflect people's quality of life and well-being. There is growing evidence that inequality is harmful to individuals and societies, and that both social and economic inclusion contribute to sustainable gains in prosperity. Prosperity is consistently eroded by poor educational opportunities, poor health, poor social cohesion, and poor employment prospects. But what does it take to achieve inclusive growth of prosperity in today's world, where 63.5 million people are forcibly displaced according to the UNHCR? Given the magnitude of displacement across the globe, it is no longer enough to see movement as an anomaly. The geopolitics of war, climate change and social inequality mean that this is now the 'new normal' for people, whether they are 'hosts' or 'movers'. In response to this, the RELIEF Centre will mount an interdisciplinary social science project that will speed up the globally critical sustainability transitions required to improve the quality of people's lives. The core will be a programme of research, education and civic engagement that develops a vision of future prosperity for Lebanon - the country with the largest number of refugees per capita in the world today - but with findings and outputs that will be applicable to other countries throughout the world. The Centre's research programme comprises the following four research themes (R1 to R4), addressing key aspects of inclusive growth for prosperity and social cohesion: R1 Post Conflict Cities will examine how Syrian refugees and their host Lebanese communities that can collectively participate in the design of more resilient and better quality living environments in contexts of resource constraint in Lebanon. This theme will also explore mechanisms for public engagement in the reconstruction of cities in Syria if/when Syrian refugees decide to return. R2 Creating Value will identify existing collective goods for communities (of both hosts and refugees) in Lebanon, as well as the most efficacious forms of investment in communities to address their needs. This strand will consequently develop a model to assess the value of successful community-driven projects for enhancing and delivering collective goods in terms of both job creation and well-being. R3 Future Education will mobilise new technologies to deliver affordable education to refugees and hosts in Lebanon, as well as generate data for the three other research themes. The RELIEF Centre will develop a curriculum of massive open online courses (MOOCs) aiming to provide people with the skills and capacities for managing conflict, improving environments and well-being, and creating opportunities for flourishing. MOOCs will include surveys at the outset, and at regular intervals throughout the course, on the specific needs of refugees and hosts. This data will then be used to improve them, as well as help address the other themes' objectives. R4 Prosperity Gains and Inclusive Growth will examine what prosperity and inclusive means for refugees and hosts, how they view their prospects for a better life, and their role in making gains in prosperity. R4 will produce a conceptual framework and methodology for understanding what drives prosperity gains, as well as develop mechanisms and methods for refugees and hosts to monitor prosperity gains or deficits in their communities and cities.

救济中心将研究在世界各地人民大规模流离失所和流动的情况下实现包容性增长的途径。实现包容性增长需要超越货币指标和GDP，转向反映人们生活质量和福祉的多维繁荣概念。越来越多的证据表明，不平等对个人和社会都是有害的，社会和经济包容都有助于实现可持续的繁荣。教育机会差、健康状况差、社会凝聚力差和就业前景差，不断侵蚀繁荣。但是，在当今世界，根据联合国难民署的数据，有6350万人被迫流离失所，如何才能实现包容性的繁荣增长？考虑到全球范围内人口迁移的规模，将人口迁移视为一种异常现象已经不够了。战争的地缘政治、气候变化和社会不平等意味着，对人们来说，这是一种“新常态”，无论他们是“主人”还是“搬家者”。为此，救济中心将开展一个跨学科的社会科学项目，以加速改善人民生活质量所需的全球关键的可持续性过渡。其核心将是一项研究、教育和公民参与方案，为黎巴嫩- -当今世界上人均难民人数最多的国家- -发展未来繁荣的远景，但其研究结果和产出将适用于世界各地其他国家。中心的研究项目包括以下四个研究主题（R1至R4），涉及促进繁荣和社会凝聚力的包容性增长的关键方面：R1冲突后城市将研究叙利亚难民及其收容黎巴嫩社区如何在黎巴嫩资源紧张的背景下共同参与设计更具弹性和更高质量的生活环境。该主题还将探讨如果叙利亚难民决定返回，公众参与叙利亚城市重建的机制。R2创造价值将为黎巴嫩的社区（东道国和难民）确定现有的集体商品，以及最有效的社区投资形式，以满足其需求。因此，这一环节将开发一个模型，以评估成功的社区驱动项目在创造就业和福祉方面加强和提供集体产品的价值。R3未来教育将利用新技术为黎巴嫩的难民和收容者提供负担得起的教育，并为其他三个研究主题生成数据。救济中心将开发一套大规模在线开放课程（MOOCs），旨在为人们提供管理冲突、改善环境和福祉以及创造繁荣机会的技能和能力。mooc课程将包括在课程开始时以及在整个课程中定期对难民和东道国的具体需求进行调查。然后，这些数据将用于改进它们，并帮助实现其他主题的目标。R4繁荣收益和包容性增长将研究繁荣和包容性对难民和收容国意味着什么，他们如何看待自己更美好生活的前景，以及他们在实现繁荣收益方面的作用。R4将制定一个概念性框架和方法，以了解推动繁荣增长的因素，并为难民和东道国制定机制和方法，以监测其社区和城市的繁荣增长或赤字。
