Instead, the process of state formation in the region has been a complicated course that involved different institutional traditions, managing societies marked by varying degrees of political loyalty to central power, and dealing with colonial interference. Rethinking State and Border Formation in the Middle East seeks to disentangle some of these complexities by proposing both a decentred and dialectic approach. Taking its cue from the bourgeoning field of borderland studies and a variety of historical sub-disciplines, this monograph pays attention to the circulation of people, goods, diseases and ideas as well as to the everyday encounters between a wide range of state and non-state actors in the borderlands laying between Turkey, Syria and Iraq. The goal is to provide a much more holistic yet finely-grained understanding of the formation of the territorial state in the interwar Middle East.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51024439771409,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51024443015441,"sku":"NIN9781399503655","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1399503650.jpg?v=1768560661"},{"product_id":"regimes-of-mobility-book-jordi-tejel-9781474487962","title":"Regimes of Mobility","description":"For the past two decades, insights gained from the burgeoning field of borderlands studies have enabled a new generation of scholars to challenge popular depictions of the emergence of the modern Middle East.

Avoiding an essentialist approach, Jordi Tejel provides fine, complex and sometimes paradoxical analysis about the articulation between tribal, local, regional, and national identities, on one hand, and the formation of a Kurdish minority awareness vis-à-vis the consolidation of Arab nationalism in Syria, on the other hand.   Using unpublished material, in particular concerning the Mandatory period (French records and Kurdish newspapers) and social movement theory, Tejel analyses the reasons of this \"exception\" within the Kurdish political sphere. In spite of the exclusion of Kurdishness from the public sphere, especially since 1963, Kurds of Syria have avoided a direct confrontation with the central power, most Kurds opting for a strategy of \"dissimulation\", cultivating internally the forms of identity that challenge the official ideology. The book explores the dynamics leading to the consolidation of Kurdish minority awareness in contemporary Syria; an ongoing process that could take the form of radicalization or even violence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51095327310097,"sku":"NIN9780415613460","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52485100011793,"sku":"NLS9780415613460","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415613469.jpg?v=1751166069"},{"product_id":"rethinking-state-and-border-formation-in-the-middle-east-book-jordi-tejel-9781399503662","title":"Rethinking State and Border Formation in the Middle East","description":"Reinterprets the making of the Turkish-Syrian-Iraqi borderlands from a decentred and connected perspective","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51216015655185,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51216018080017,"sku":"NGR9781399503662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53491613663505,"sku":"NIN9781399503662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1399503669.jpg?v=1751209166"},{"product_id":"syria-s-kurds-book-jordi-tejel-9780415424400","title":"Syria's Kurds","description":"Jordi Tejel presents  combining different disciplines such as history, sociology and anthropology  a new understanding of the dynamics leading to the consolidation of a Kurdish minority awareness in contemporary Syria.
