Call for Papers - ZIB - Middle East Special Issue

Link to the complete CfP as PDF

Against the backdrop of the recent escalation dynamics in the region, we see reason for an in-depth academic examination of regional developments in the Middle East and their supraregional implications from the perspective of international relations and related (sub)disciplines.

Contributions to the special issue should be between 7,000 and 8,000 words in length. The contributions will undergo the usual review process for academic articles and forums (double-blind peer review).

We hereby invite submissions of abstracts of no more than 300 words by March 5, 2025.

We look forward to receiving numerous submissions at zib@nomos.de and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
