The editors welcome submissions for the eleventh anniversary issue of the Oxford Middle East Review (OMER), a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal for discussion and debate on issues relating to Southwest Asia and North Africa. The theme of this issue will be published this October.

***

We will welcome submissions that examine these questions through empirical, theoretical, and comparative perspectives, and encourage authors to explore the theme of reconstruction across disciplines, from history, politics, and economics to anthropology, literature, and art.

Papers will be considered for the journal’s three sections:

Policy Section:
Shorter briefs or position papers up to 2,000 words (including references and citations) aimed at influencing contemporary debate or policy-making.

Research Section:
Articles from 7,500 to 10,000 words (including references and citations) that present original material from any discipline and engage critically with the theme of reconstruction in the context of the Middle East and North Africa.

Book Reviews:
Brief, critical reviews of up to 1,500–2,000 words of topical books published in 2026 or 2027.
