Summary

Shedding light on the formative processes of state- and nation-building in the contemporary Middle East, Landis enhances understanding of the disjuncture between the emergence of states and the formation of national communities. He explores how the fiercely contested interactions between these two processes affected the larger social, diplomatic, and political trajectory of Syria and, by extension, the Middle East more broadly.
