The introduction of international borders that accompanied this process is commonly portrayed as the drawing of lines in the sand, an artificial partitioning that brought diplomatic closure to an otherwise contested historical space. For the past two decades, insights gained from the burgeoning field of borderlands studies have enabled a new generation of scholars to challenge such popular depictions. For them, the region's borderlands were not sites of peripheral activity, but rather liminal spaces criss-crossed by global flows and circulations central to state- and nation-formation across the Middle East. Regimes of Mobility offers a select number of case studies that highlight the connectedness of the politics of borderlands throughout the interwar Middle East. Key features - Evidence-driven case studies cover borderlands in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Transjordan - Informed by discussions in borderland and mobility studies, and by global and environmental history - Brings late Ottomanists into conversation with historians of the interwar Middle East Jordi Tejel is Research Professor in Contemporary History at the University of Neuchâtel.
