Abstract

Geopolitical imagination is a very broad concept of countries' representations of national missions, territorial delimitation, and geopolitical codes, with the levels of territorial threat and world identity, this concept is more prominent in the foreign policy of countries. In this regard, the national identity and myths of the United States drawn on the basis of "other", Geopolitical imagination has created this country in different parts of the world. Following the 9/11 and related events, such as the crisis in Iraq and the collapse of terrorist groups in the Middle East, the presence of Americans in the region increased and conflicted. Withdrawal from Syria's northeast and northeast regions and inaction against operations such as the Olive Branch and Peace Fountain in October 2019 by turkey against Syrian Kurds is a reflection of the geopolitical imagination of the United States in non-strategic areas. This research answers the question of whether geopolitical imagination has shaped US foreign policy in recent years in the Middle East and specifically the Syrian crisis. an historical analysis of the discourse and geopolitical structure of the country illustrates the discourse of the discourse of this depiction in northern Syria and the sterility of its historical discourse. Geopolitical imagination and discourse and research methods are also analytical / descriptive.
