Thesis title: The political geography of the Syrian-Iraqi borderland: international, regional and local dynamics
The changing relationship between Iraq and Syria is symbolic of the tensions inherent in the quest by newly created states for regional power and influence as well as domestic legitimacy. Changing local and regional dynamics mirror this development in International Relations. A boundary line in the sand drawn between two states created in the early 20th century has evolved from a line of division to a modern contested line of both separation and contact between security, politics, economics and identity.
Supervisors: Richard Schofield and George Joffe
Research Group: Environment, Politics and Development
