The Many Worlds of ˁAbud Yasin; or, What Narcotics Trafficking in the Interwar Middle East Can Tell Us about Territorialization.
- Authors
SCHAYEGH, CYRUS
- Abstract
The article presents an examination of drug smuggling in the Levant through an historical exploration of smuggling activity involving Lebanon following the decline of the Ottoman Empire. It examines drug smuggling on various scales, including on local levels within the country, within the nation-state as a whole, across the country's borders with Egypt and Turkey and internationally on a scale involving the League of Nations' global anti-narcotics policy. It addresses issues related to territorialization and discusses how French Mandate rule was influenced by territorialization patterns.
