This book explores the history of Syria's borders and boundaries,
from their creation (1920) until the civil war (2011) and their
contestation by the Islamic State or the Kurdish movement. The
volume's main objective is to reconsider the "artificial" character
of the Syrian territory and to reveal the processes by which its
borders were shaped and eventually internalized by the country's
main actors. Based on extensive archival research, the book first
documents the creation and stabilization of Syrian borders before
and during the mandates period (nineteenth century to 1946),
studying Ottoman and French territorialization strategies but also
emphasizing the key role of the borderlands in this process. In
turn, it investigates the perceptual boundaries resulting from the
conflict, and how they materialized in space. Lastly, it explores
the geographical and political imaginaries of non-state actors
(PYD, ISIS) that emerged from the war.
