Abstract: The Syrian refugee crisis has become one of the highlighted issues in international affairs. The Lebanese government plays a key role in the governance of the Syrian refugee issue in the country. Lebanon’s governance of Syrian refugee issue has developed from the policy of unfettered humanitarian access to the policy of tightening access and residence,and to the policy readjustment.Lebanese governance policy has been shaped by both domestic and international factors. Domestic factors include economic and political impacts brought by the Syrian refugee crisis,different attitudes of political parties towards the refugee crisis,and the decentralized domestic institutions dealing with the refugee crisis. UNHCR,as a main non-state governance actor,has conducted extensive coordination with the Lebanese government and other actors in the governance of Syrian refugee issue. At present,the governance actors have not reached an agreement on the international burden-sharing of the refugee crisis yet. And the Lebanese government’s negotiation with other international partners on the repatriation of the Syrian refugees has meanwhile hindered the process.
