Abstract
One of the most important consequences of the Syrian crisis since 2011 is the refugee crisis. Since the beginning of this crisis, more than six million people of this country have been displaced in many countries, including the neighboring countries of Syria and other regions of the world. The main goal of this research is to explain the consequences of the Syrian refugee crisis on the host countries and has raised the question of what are the most important security effects of the Syrian refugee crisis on the destination countries in 2011-2023? This research has investigated this issue using the descriptive-analytical method and in the form of security analysis levels. The findings of the research indicate that the Syrian refugees have influenced the security of the destination countries at the political, military, economic, social and environmental levels. The most important effects on the political and military level have been shaping the fields of cooperation between Turkey and Europe, the differences between member and non-member countries of the European Union, the negative attitude of the citizens of the host countries towards refugees and the spread of terrorist ideas. The most important economic effects have been imposing costs, creating a challenge on the domestic economy of the countries and reducing the economic indicators of the destination countries. The most important social effects of refugees on destination countries have been fueling cultural-identity differences. Finally, at the environmental level, The refugees have affected water resources, infrastructure and increased environmental pollution.
