Middle Eastern Politics

摘要

FOR THIS LATEST ROUNDUP of ereviews related to politics in the Middle East, several new platforms are explored. We were impressed with the array of titles comprising the BrillOnline Reference Works: Middle East and Islamic Studies collection. Founded in 1683, the Dutch company Brill matches scholarly reference content to elegant interfaces. Oxford Islamic Studies Online, meanwhile, combines reference, scholarship, religious texts, primary sources, graphics, and pedagogical materials into a comprehensive package addressing the research needs of students of global Islamic history and its people, culture, and society. EBSCO's Arab World Research Source: Al Masdar draws on material from disciplines across the Arab world, while two new products from Readex, via the meticulous translation work of the Joint Publications Research Service and the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, open our eyes to how Middle Eastern editors, journalists, and broadcasters viewed the events around them during the second half of the 20th century.
