Beskrivning
A richly interdisciplinary challenge to mainstream approaches to area studies through focus on the Middle East's relationship to West AsiaRethinking the Middle East as West Asia reframes a region long constrained by Euro-American strategic narratives. By situating the Middle East within its relationships to wider Asia, the volume opens a fresh analytical lens on power, mobility, and connection across the continent. Moving beyond state-centric and siloed approaches, it illuminates the dense and rapidly evolving ties that bind East and West in new and consequential ways. Rethinking the Middle East as West Asia brings together a wide group of interdisciplinary scholars from the Middle East, China, and the West to rethink how knowledge about the region is produced. It offers a methodological invitation to question inherited geopolitical categories and to develop comparative and transregional approaches suited to the contemporary global landscape.Contributors:Lori Allen SOAS, University of London, London, UKZhang Chuchu Fudan University, Shanghai, ChinaHolly Danzeisen Arab Council for the Social Sciences/Inter-Asia Partnership, New York City, USASun Degang Fudan University, Shanghai, ChinaJiuzhou Duan Tsinghua University, Beijing, ChinaAdam Hanieh SOAS, University of London, London, UKMarya Hannun University of Exeter, Exeter, UKArang Keshavarzian New York University, New York City, USALaleh Khalili University of Exeter, Exeter, UKZachary Lockman New York University, New York City, USASajjad Rizvi University of Exeter, Exeter, UKAlam Saleh Australian National University, Canberra, AustraliaSeteney Shami Arab Council for the Social Sciences, Beirut, LebanonMohammed Al-Sudairi Australian National University, Canberra, AustraliaYuting Wang American University of Sharjah, Sharjah, UAEZakiyeh Yazdanshenas University of Tehran, Tehran, IranLiu Yi Shanghai University, Shanghai, ChinaMa Yue Beijing International Studies University, Beijing, ChinaRafeef Ziadah King’s College London, London, UK

Recensioner i media

"This extraordinary collection promises to advance debates about Area Studies for years to come. In emphasizing the myriad interconnections that make up West Asia and its environs, the authors show readers what an Area Studies divorced from strategic studies and instead attuned to the formations, patterns, and circuits that make up regions should look like."—Samer Abboud, Villanova University“This essential addition to the growing literature on the new South–South relations does not replace one closed and bounded notion of regions and regionalism with another. Rather, it questions the very constructed nature of regional boundaries, while opening up a conceptual and methodological lens to a complex web of interactions across the Asian continent and beyond. Crucially, it highlights the perspectives of Chinese scholars, who offer fresh perspectives while questioning the implicit biases and even Eurocentrism in their own disciplinary models. The intellectual dialogue facilitated by this volume is just as crucial as the substance.”—Omar S. Dahi, Mount Holyoke College“This volume brings together leading and emerging scholars to rethink the Middle East as West Asia amid a changing international balance of power. It examines rising state autonomy, diverse interests and resources, and growing East and South Asian engagement with MENA. Offering fresh perspectives on power, education, law, and inter-regionalism, the volume opens up new avenues for understanding an increasingly interconnected Asia. Highly recommended.”—Robert Mason, Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy
