Abstract
By the end of the Second World War the process of decolonisation of the Arab countries had begun. This produced a number of independent national states which are, in Sulzbach’s terms, administrative nations.1 Their boundaries were drawn by the colonial administrations, and they correspond to the map on which the powers divided these territories amongst themselves, but they have little or no historical or economic significance. Against this background, a decisive change of direction in the politics of Arab nationalism was to occur, which is documented in al-Husri’s works. His political views supersede those of liberal Arab nationalism.
