Abstract

Read online

This dossier gathers articles by five graduates from the Master in International Studies, based at ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon. The students came from different disciplines and academic backgrounds, but in spite of their heterogeneous approaches and perspectives, they have found a common field, namely a critical analysis of some of the most contradictory and conflicted political and social dynamics occurring in the contemporary Middle East and affecting also neighbouring countries. All the authors have started their research due to personal interest and curiosity, with the aim of making the complexity of such diverse contexts in the region visible and intelligible.
