“…Irrespective of these aims, many UNRWA employeesincluding the Palestinian teachers, guards and sanitation workers I have been speaking with across Lebanondo not believe that UNRWA is committed to 'protecting' them at a time when their jobs and futures are at risk. Indeed, potential redundancies in Lebanon's educational vocational centres had already been officially announced in March 2018(Cordone, cited in AFP, 2018, and my interviewees had informed me that throughout the first three months of 2018 dozens of UNRWA 'dailies' have either been made redundant or have not had their contracts renewed.…”

This article explores the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees' (UNRWA) responses to the US Government's decision to dramatically cut its financial contributions to the Agency in 2018. Acknowledging the complexities of the fast-moving changes and dilemmas faced by UNRWA and Palestinian refugees, this article focuses specifically on the events that unfolded in the first six months of 2018. Through a multiscalar analysis, I start by situating UNRWA's key responses as they have played out on the international stage through a highprofile fundraising campaign (#DignityIsPriceless). I then develop a close reading of three regional-level UNRWA circulars disseminated to UNRWA staff pertaining to the provision of maternal and neonatal health services, and to Palestinian UNRWA staff members' employment and pension rights. Against the backdrop of the impact of UNRWA's responses across the region, I subsequently examine how these operational changes have been experienced and conceptualised by Palestinians living in refugee camps in Lebanon, noting that those experiences must be analysed within the broader context of protracted displacement, enforced immobility and overlapping displacement.

China’s Influence in Asia: How Do Individual Perceptions Matter?

Taking pride in the vibrancy and transparency of democracy, countries such as the USA have prioritized the spread of democracy in its foreign policy. The admirable impact that this political agenda has garnered across the globe pushes us to ponder what China would offer as it aspires for a more prominent position on the international stage. Particularly, how would China foster its image in Asia and, as a result, earn a favorable voice and even all-out support from Asian countries, countries economically underdeveloped and politically volatile? This paper sets out to answer this question by critiquing whether or not popular perceptions of China's political system impact how Asians perceive China's influence in general. Conducting statistical analysis using the fourth wave of Asian Barometer Survey (2016) to assess the above argument, we find that Asians who lend their support for China are more keen to the economic opportunities that China's growing economy offers their country than they are of China's political system. In short, China's authoritarian regime type does not factor into Asians' perception of China, except when individuals are highly educated with and committed to democratic principles.
