48.  Articles on “Media, Accountability and Dissent in the Middle East and North Africa” for Special Issue of “Journal for International Press/Politics”

This issue aims to provide new research perspectives on the momentous upheavals that took place in the Middle East and North Africa in the past ten years by shedding light on the interactions between citizens, social movements, and different types of media actors. The recent developments in 2019, with large street protests in Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Iraq, Sudan and Algeria demonstrate that change is mainly taking place outside mainstream politics.

50.  New Book Series “Worlding the Middle East“ (Stanford University Press)

This series investigates the “worlding” of the Middle East, the ever-changing, ever-becoming dynamism of the region.  It seeks to capture the ways in which it is being reimagined and unmade through flows of world capital, power, and ideas. We encourage studies in not only traditional disciplines (e.g., history, politics, anthropology), but also those that push the boundaries into other areas (e.g., economics, religious studies, public health, city planning, art).
