Remodeled Middle East

Over the past year or so, drawing maps of a reconfigured Middle East has become a pastime of journalists and experts. Here is an early exercise that’s been overlooked, but that seems to have anticipated them all.
The map below is the work of Michael F. Davie, a Lebanese-educated geographer and professor at the University of Tours in France. The map illustrated his article “Un Proche-Orient à remodeler? Hypothèses et cartes,” in the August 2003 issue of Outre-Terre, a French journal of geopolitics. (Download the article here.) Davie doesn’t propose or promote this “remodeled” Middle East, but presents it as one possible outcome of changes roiling the region in the aftermath of the Iraq war.
