Frontiers of the state in the late Ottoman Empire : Transjordan, 1850-1921
Eugene Rogan documents the case of Transjordan to provide a theoretically informed account of how the Ottoman state restructured itself during the last decades of empire. In so doing, he explores the idea of frontier as a geographical and cultural boundary and sheds light on the processes of state formation.
