Conventional accounts of war in Syria depict a state whose sovereignty has been “shattered” by violent contest over control of territory. Such accounts foreground strategic interaction among the key armed actors, implying that the emergence of political order in wartime Syria is centered on the front lines dividing the regime, opposition, PYD, and ISIS. But crucially, key forms of wartime mobilities have emerged that not only cross these front lines with great frequency, but connect the territories of Syria’s conflict to places at great distances. This paper argues that political order in wartime Syria emerges out of evolving forms of connectivity rather than purely from interaction among armed actors. It draws on a topological conception of space that foregrounds actors whose practices of wartime mobility reproduce particular kinds of distance, connection, and thus political relationships. Focusing on the cities of Jarablus and Azaz in Aleppo Province, this paper traces how these wartime mobilities have led to the creation of new centers and peripheries which do not neatly correspond to maps of territorial control, or even the map of Syria itself.
