Middle East Journal
The ''Middle East Journal'' (''MEJ'') is published by the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Institute. It was first published in 1947, making it the oldest U.S. peer-reviewed publication on the modern Middle East. The ''Journal'' is published quarterly and carries analysis of political, economic, and social developments and historical events in North Africa, the Middle East, Caucasus, and Central Asia. Each issue features articles from scholars on the Middle East, as well as book reviews and a chronology of regional events organized by issue and country for each quarter. Like the Middle East Institute, the ''Journal'' does not take policy positions and features authors writing from across the political spectrum and around the world.
== History ==
The Middle East Institute (MEI) was founded in 1946 in Washington, DC by a group of diplomats and scholars who aimed to promote the study of the region in a modern, policy-relevant context. From its outset, one of MEI's priorities was "()he editing and publishing of an authoritative journal on Middle Eastern affairs."〔"Note on the Middle East Institute", ''The Middle East Journal'', Vol. 1, No. 1 (January 1947), p. 123.〕 Accordingly, the first issue of the ''Journal'' appeared in January 1947. In its "Editorial Foreword", the following mission for the new publication appeared:
Even though the American people may be suffering from a surfeit of periodical publications, no apology need be offered for adding a quarterly journal relating to the Middle East. Except to a very few Americans - Foreign Service and Army officers, educators, businessmen, travelers - this area is essentially ''terra incognita''. Such a circumstance was a matter of no great practical consequence when the world was large and only loosely knit together. Now that the Middle East is very near the United States in point of time-distance and almost equally near with respect to matters of concern in American foreign policy, it deserves such thoughtful attention as can be initiated and encouraged through the pages of ''The Middle East Journal''.〔"Editorial Foreword," ''The Middle East Journal'', Vol. 1, No. 1 (January 1947), p. 1.〕
In its earlier years, the ''Journal'' covered regional issues and history in the 19th and 20th centuries; in the 1980s, however, the ''Journal'' would restrict its coverage to the post-World War II era. The ''Journal'' publishes articles from a range of disciplines, including political science, history, sociology, anthropology, economics, among others.
