Abstract

This study attempted to show how territoriality is formed in political Geography based on the result of two items “Thought” and “Space”. In political geography and Geopolitics texts, the space element is important due to its key nature, but the role of “thought” is ignored to some extent. This study showed how political and geopolitical thoughts by forming specific discourses can create spatial outcomes and in case of being operationalized in the required country start their own special territoriality. Formation of Middle East countries in contemporary era was inspired by west discourse process in territoriality and the present political map of region is the result of this discourse. Indeed, by emphasizing on good episteme of capitalism system attempts to produce the required space in Middle East.
