The on-going crisis in Syria has not only affected those caught
within the country's borders, but with the deluge of refugees
fleeing the violence, it has also had an impact on the surrounding
countries. Lebanon, together with the province of Hatay in Turkey
(containing Antakya) and the Golan Heights were all originally part
of French Mandate Syria, but are now all outside the boundaries of
the modern Syrian state. The policies and reactions of Syria both
to the loss of these territories and to the states that have either
emerged from, absorbed or annexed them (Lebanon, Turkey and Israel)
are the focus of Emma Lundgren Jorum's book. Beyond Syria's Borders
highlights the differences between actual policy on the one hand
and rhetoric and discourse on the other when it comes to each of
these three cases. It does so in order to understand the nature of
not only territorial dispute in the region, but also the processes
of state-building and nationalism more generally.Covering the
formation of the Syrian Arab Republic from the fall of the Ottoman
Empire through to the twenty-y rst century, Lundgren Jorum examines
the ways in which Syrian views of these lost territories have
changed over time. Through the examination of Syria's foreign
policies towards these lost territories, Lundgren Jorum sets out
and analyses Syrian-Turkish, Syrian-Lebanese and Syrian-Israeli
relations. In doing so, she advances particular conceptions of
nationalism to explain why Syria views certain lost territories as
more valuable than others and why some losses have been pushed to
one side and others remain at the forefront in Syria's
international relations and diplomacy efforts, despite, and
sometimes because of, the current con ict. Lundgren Jorum's
examination of Syria's responses to the loss of territory is thus
vital for any reader attempting to understand the workings of
Syrian foreign policy, impacting everything from Syria's role in
the Middle East to the wider Arab-Israeli con ict. This makes it
vital for those researching both the history of border conflicts in
the region as well as the current crisis.
