Middle East Critique

期刊简介：Middle East Critique provides a forum to develop intellectually innovative perspectives on and through key political, social, economic, and cultural aspects of the contemporary Middle East/West Asia and North Africa. In order to stimulate the critical understanding of the complex nature of ideas, values, social configurations, and material realities of Middle Eastern societies, Middle East Critique publishes analyses drawing on heterodox theoretical perspectives and methods. The journal particularly encourages contributions that think through those contexts to reflect upon, advance and challenge heterodox approaches themselves. Middle East Critique provides a forum for interdisciplinary scholarship based on solid empirical research and innovative critical readings of developments in the region. Analytically , the journal welcomes the exploration and development of heterodox theoretical approaches. Methodologically , Middle East Critique invites contributions drawing on qualitative methods, mixed methods, and critical/heterodox approaches. Geographically , the journal focuses on the Middle East region, broadly defined as stretching across North Africa from the Atlantic coast of Morocco to Egypt and south to Sudan, the Mediterranean coast from Palestine/Israel to the Anatolian Peninsula (Turkey), West Asia (Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan) and the Arabian Peninsula. Critique welcomes contributions analyzing diverse cultural, economic, political and social issues of individual countries as well as regional comparisons and critical examinations of international political problems/relations. Although Critique is not a history journal, we do consider contributions about historical events that provide insights relevant to contemporary political issues. Peer Review Statement All submitted research articles undergo an initial editor screening, followed by double-blind peer review with at least two independent referees.
