Aims and Scope
The Middle East is experiencing major political transformations, some of which continue from the Arab uprisings of 2011, which invite historical and comparative examinations. The first of its kind, Disruptions publishes studies on the origins, nature, and impact of the ideas, events (uprisings, revolutions, protests), and actors (ordinary people, activists, intellectuals, or leaders) that are now disrupting the social orders in the region.
The series focuses on the genesis, development, and outcomes of ongoing transformations, but is open for historical studies with still-relevant theoretical and comparative topics. Topics may include, but are not limited to: Violent/non-violent forms of political protest; genesis and development of social movements; revolutions; arts and politics; women, gender, LGBT, or labour movements; norm diffusion; digital activism; civil societies.
Write for the series
We welcome monographs and, in exceptional cases, edited volumes that offer novel theoretical and conceptual frameworks and/or empirical material generated from the region. Disruptions fosters the principle of pluralism in knowledge generation in the Social Sciences, and will be open to various theoretical and methodological approaches in Political Science, History, Sociology, Social Psychology and Middle Eastern Studies.
If you have a proposal suitable for this series we’d love to hear from you.
