摘要翻译：
本章探讨萨赫勒的地理意义、流体边界及其空间动态。与将萨赫勒地区界定为生物气候区或无人管理地区的其他方法不同，它表明萨赫勒地区主要是一个环流空间，其中的不确定性历来被流动性所克服。论文的第一部分讨论了前殖民帝国是如何依赖于一个市场和城市网络来促进该地区内外的贸易和社会关系的。第二部分探讨了殖民国家促成的不断变化的区域流动模式，以及它们为控制网络和流动而开发的新方法。第三部分讨论萨赫勒地区当地牧民、农民和贸易商采取的流动战略与现代国家和国际捐助者的领土发展倡议之间的矛盾。最后一节特别注意如何从安全角度逐步重新界定萨赫勒地区。

英文摘要：
  This chapter examines the geographical meaning of the Sahel, its fluid boundaries, and its spatial dynamics. Unlike other approaches that define the Sahel as a bioclimatic zone or as an ungoverned area, it shows that the Sahel is primarily a space of circulation in which uncertainty has historically been overcome by mobility. The first part of the paper discusses how pre-colonial empires relied on a network of markets and cities that facilitated trade and social relationships across the region and beyond. The second part explores changing regional mobility patterns precipitated by colonial powers and the new approach they developed to control networks and flows. The third part discusses the contradiction between the mobile strategies adopted by local herders, farmers and traders in the Sahel and the territorial development initiatives of modern states and international donors. Particular attention is paid in the last section to how the Sahel was progressively redefined through a security lens.
