“…A third reason to explore in-between border spaces nowadays refers to a lack of clear theoretical and analytical framework as they stayed somehow understudied territories and spaces (Agnew, 2011). It is rather surprising to notice the lack of theoretical work done on each of the notions above mentioned with the aim to describe and qualify the type of inbetweenness; and sometimes when authors tried to do it, they prefer to rely on official and governmental definitions (Cannon, Nakayama, Sasaki, & Rossiter, 2018). Such places are usually located at the edges of the states and thus are often poorly documented like the surprising example of South Lebanon under Israeli occupation (1978-2000 and its out of law prison of Khiam.…”

In-between border spaces are numerous in the Levant region and are usually of two types: those resulting into buffer zones as a result of demilitarized spaces and those turning as a region under the occupation of a foreign state. But there is a lack of clear theoretical and analytical framework as they stayed somehow understudied territories and spaces that are generally located at the edges of the states and thus are poorly documented and sometimes can even be described as hidden geographies. This introduction explores three key conceptsspace, power, and identityas they provide three directions of investigation that are interlinked in this problem: the territoriality, the political power, and the issue of the relationship between the Self and the Others. Therefore, the general questioning aims at understanding whatÂ are the reasons for the appearance, the existence, and the persistence of in-between border spaces. The paper provides with various tools in several disciplines in order to shape and suggest ways of delineating the issue of in-between spaces in border regions.

“…Nowadays, textual analysis is employed in a wide variety of studies, for example in medicine Lee et al (2019), in tourism management analysis Cheng and Jin (2019), in designing recommendation systems Ji et al (2019), in analyzing countries' foreign policies Cannon et al (2018), in investigating the blog users' sentiments during rainstorm and waterlogging disasters Wu et al (2018) or in understanding the potential applications and users of augmented reality tools Li et al (2018). Feuerriegel and Gordon (2018) highlight the importance of the information contained in written documents to analyse the economic paths and to forecast economic and financial variables.…”

The speeches stated by influential politicians can have a decisive impact on the future of a country. In particular, the economic content of such speeches affects the economy of countries and their financial markets. For this reason, we examine a novel dataset containing the economic content of 951 speeches stated by 45 US Presidents from George Washington (April 1789) to Donald Trump (February 2017). In doing so, we use an economic glossary carried out by means of text mining techniques. The goal of our study is to examine the structure of significant interconnections within a network obtained from the economic content of presidential speeches. In such a network, nodes are represented by talks and links by values of cosine similarity, the latter computed using the occurrences of the economic terms in the speeches. The resulting network displays a peculiar structure made up of a core (i.e. a set of highly central and densely connected nodes) and a periphery (i.e. a set of non-central and sparsely connected nodes). The presence of different economic dictionaries employed by the Presidents characterize the core-periphery structure. The Presidents' talks belonging to the network's core share the usage of generic (non-technical) economic locutions like "interest" or "trade". While the use of more technical and less frequent terms characterizes the periphery (e.g. "yield"). Furthermore, the speeches close in time share a common economic dictionary. These results together with the economics glossary usages during the US periods of boom and crisis provide unique insights on the economic content relationships among Presidents' speeches.
