Middle Eastern history; Historical geography; Colonialism & imperialism; Comparative politics

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. For them, the region's borderlands were not just mere 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. This volume analyses case studies on Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Transjordan that highlight the connectedness of the politics of borderlands throughout the interwar Middle East.

Reviews for Regimes of Mobility: Borders and State Formation in the Middle East, 1918-1946

""Conceiving the post-Ottoman space less through hard borders than porous borderlands, and highlighting the interests of both local and colonial actors, Tejel and ztan develop regimes of mobility"" into a percipient rubric for the mandate period. Framed by an astute introduction and afterword, eleven case studies trace how traders, nomads, priests and refugees negotiated customs controls, quarantine regulations and national churches amid competing notions and uses of territory. This is a timely study of both the disconnections and redirections that define eras of deglobalisation."""" -Nile Green, Professor of History and Ibn Khaldun Endowed Chair in World History, UCLA
