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
