This book focuses on interstitial spaces or in- between borders in
the Middle East. Using various case studies, it raises the question
how actors living in these regions perform their belonging despite
the apparent constraints of history and politics. In recent years,
the Middle East has seen States attempts to shape buffer zones or
safe zones in border regions, for example, in Syria’s borderlands
in the aftermath of the civil war. Typically studies on in- between
borders refer to three interrelated aspects: space (territorial,
symbolic), power (states or non-state actors) and identity
(definition of the self/other). In this volume, the authors
investigate these axes of research through the notions of
sovereignty and belonging in order to assess how these concepts may
highlight in-betweenness through a political dimension. Stemming
from a perception of the borders as processes, these various
studies aim to explore the theoretical potential of in- between
border spaces to re-think sovereignty and identity belonging in
such interstitial zones. While notions such as heterotopia,
margins, liminality, borderlands, buffer zones, no man’s land or
frontiers will be explored, each case study highlights how actors,
territory and powers relate to each other in order to improve our
understanding of historical and political process that are shaping
identities under spatial constraints. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of the journal,
Mediterranean Politics.
This book provides an intimate picture of Lebanon, exploring the
impacts of the Arab uprisings of 2011 which are deeply affecting
Lebanese politics and society. The book examines Lebanon's current
issues and its deep sectarian divisions, as well as the ways in
which it still seems able to find some adaptation paths to face the
many challenges left by its regional sectarian and political
polarization. Authors delve into border regions, Syrian refugees,
the welfare state, the Lebanese Army, popular mobilisations in 2011
and the two main communities, the Sunnis and the Shia. Built on
various fieldwork researches, the volume explores each of the
topics through the lenses of identification building processes, the
re-ordering of social and/or political relations, and the
nationhood symbols and meanings.

This volume focuses on the influence that borders in the Middle
East can have on actors' identity building, as well as how local,
national, or transnational actors re/ define borders and
boundaries. The Middle East is facing a political crisis, revealed
by the Arab uprisings, that is affecting states' borders in a
paradoxical way: while local, communal, or tribal dissent tends to
contest international borders, states are trying to affirm their
control over national territory in building border fences. Focusing
on borders in their materiality as well as their symbolic
dimensions - their representations - may help with reappraising the
region's own history, the local/national specificities, as well as
regional/ global constraints affecting borderlands and those who
cross borders; be they workers, migrants, or jihadists. In this
book, six case studies will provide insights on state- community
relationships through the lens of border issues in the Levant and
the Gulf. The theoretical framework provided by the border studies
conceptual tools allows authors to delve into the process of
bordering, de- bordering, and re- bordering which is affecting the
region, raising questions on sovereignty, authority, and the
political legitimacy of the regimes. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Geopolitics.

Regional struggles, wars and local confrontations have marked the
south of Lebanon since the end of the 1960s. They have transformed
this marginalized and rural region into a battlefield and redefined
the relationships between international, regional and local actors.
The most recent of these actors the Palestinian refugees and their
armed resistance, the Islamic Shi i movement Hizbullah, and the UN
local mission (UNIFIL) have marked and shaped the place, and in
turn operating in this borderland has affected their identities.
Based on Daniel Meier s extensive fieldwork in the region, this
book offers interviews with militants, his own observations of this
conflict-ridden and dangerous region as well as incisive political
analysis concerning the armed militias operating in the area. It is
through this in-depth examination of the southern borderlands of
Lebanon that Meier sheds new light on some of the major Middle
Eastern confrontations of the last half a century."
