Welcome to ASMEA
ASMEA is a new academic society dedicated to promoting the highest standards of research and teaching in Middle Eastern and African studies, and related fields. It is a response to the mounting interest in these increasingly inter-related fields, and the absence of any single group addressing them in a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary fashion.
ASMEA is, first and foremost, a community of scholars concerned to protect academic freedom and promote the search for truth to reach new heights in inquiry. The Association will advance the discourse in these fields by offering its members new opportunities to publish and present ideas to the academic community and beyond.
ASMEA will offer its assistance to established and new scholars, including un-tenured faculty, graduate students, and those in related fields to expand the body of scholars and knowledge.

Forthcoming Issue: Journal of the Middle East and Africa
The Journal of the Middle East and Africa, the flagship publication of ASMEA, is the first peer-reviewed academic journal to include both the entire continent of Africa and the Middle East within its purview — exploring the historic social, economic, and political links between these two regions, as well as the modern challenges they face.
Interdisciplinary in its nature, it approaches the regions from the perspectives of Middle Eastern and African studies as well as anthropology, economics, history, international law, political science, religion, security studies, women's studies, and other disciplines of the social sciences and humanities. It seeks to promote new research to better understand the past and chart more clearly the future of scholarship on the regions. The Journal of the Middle East and Africa is published in cooperation with Taylor & Francis.

Scholarly papers, on current research only, are now being accepted for upcoming issues. For consideration, please submit papers to journal@asmeascholars.org.

In the News
Why U.S. Must Step Carefully in Syria(01/04/2012) Robert G. Rabil, CNN.com The popular uprising in Syria against the Alawi-led minority regime of Bashar al-Assad poses a serious challenge to U.S. national security in the Middle East.
Why Iran Cannot be Allowed to Obtain Nuclear Weapons(12/29/2011) Joseph S. Spoerl, New Hampshire Union Leader As important as Iran’s track record of state supported terrorism, the best reason to prevent the country from obtaining nuclear weapons is the truly disturbing worldview of its leaders.
Is Morocco Immune to Upheaval?(11/28/2011) Bruce Maddy-Weitzman, The Middle East Quarterly The uprisings that swept across the Middle East and North Africa during 2011 have largely bypassed Morocco. The absence of tumult and the loudly trumpeted package of constitutional reform measures endorsed in a July 2011 national referendum[1] further strengthened Morocco's favorable image in the West as a country that has mixed tradition with modernity and an openness to foreign cultures, and which is both politically stable and steadily evolving toward greater pluralism.
