520    This book is a socio-spatial history of the Middle East, 
       and uses that case to reflect more broadly on the making 
       of the modern world. Pivoting around Bilād al-Shām 
       (Greater Syria) - alternatingly zooming in on cities and 
       nation-states and zooming out to neighboring countries, 
       imperial and transnational links, and overseas diasporas -
       it asks: Why, how, and in which stages did well-rooted 
       cities and regions mold a dynamic modern world economy and
       powerful modern states, and how were they remolded in 
       return? Covering culture, the economy, and administration 
       from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century in five chapters,
       each prefaced by one person's illustrative story, the book
       identifies three key developments in the late Ottoman 
       period. Cities were transformed but remained powerful; 
       interurban ties grew stronger; and Bilād al-Shām became 
       more integrated. These developments did not end in 1918 
       but, as is shown next, deeply shaped post-Ottoman times. 
       While quartered, Bilād al-Shām became an umbrella region 
       for Palestine, Transjordan, Syria and Lebanon, and forced 
       French and British rulers to coordinate policies. And 
       while cities lionized their weight in transnational 
       circuits as well as reimagined themselves as national 
       places to assert their rank in new nation-states, the 
       latter were from the start multi-urban and 
       transnationalized spaces. Building on the Middle Eastern 
       case, the book argues that the modern world cannot be 
       truly grasped by studying globalization or state formation
       or urbanization, as many histories do. Rather, the modern 
       world's most fundamental socio-spatial feature is what can
       be called transpatialization: the intertwinement of cities,
       regions, states, and global circuits in faster changing 
       and more mutually transformative ways than before in 
       history.--|cProvided by publisher.
