Abstract

Bu inceleme, Rashid Khalidi’nin “Filistin’e Karşı Yüz Yıllık Savaş” adlı eserini, siyasi coğrafya ve bölgesel çatışmalar çalışmaları çerçevesinde ele almaktadır. Khalidi’nin analizi, İsrail-Filistin çatışmasını mekânsal ve tarihsel bir perspektiften değerlendirerek milliyetçilik, toprak yönetimi ve jeopolitik ilişkiler arasındaki etkileşimleri irdelemektedir. Eserde, toprak anlaşmazlıklarının tarihsel bağlamlar ve siyasi kararlarla şekillenen dinamik süreçler olarak nasıl evrildiği ele alınmaktadır. Bu inceleme, Khalidi’nin mekâna dayalı yaklaşımının yöntemsel katkılarını vurgulamakta ve bu yaklaşımın egemenlik, toprak yönetimi ve çatışma çözümü gibi küresel ölçekte tartışılan konulara olan katkılarını değerlendirmektedir.

Geopolitical Perspectives on Khalidi’s Hundred Years’ War on Palestine

Abstract

This review examines Rashid Khalidi’s The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine through the lens of political geography and territorial conflict studies. Khalidi’s analysis provides a spatial and historical account of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, exploring interactions among nationalism, territorial governance, and geopolitical relationships. His work discusses how territorial disputes evolve as dynamic processes shaped by historical contexts and political decisions. This review highlights the methodological strengths of Khalidi’s spatially informed approach and explores its relevance to broader discussions of sovereignty, territorial management, and conflict resolution in contested regions globally.

Keywords
