MERIA Journal New Issue, Available Free Online

The new issue of the Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal, Vol. 14, No. 1 (March 2010) is available online with all content free of charge. All articles are available in both HTML and PDF formats. MERIA Journal is the world's largest Middle East journal with more than 22,000 readers around the world.

Articles include Patrick Poole's survey of Middle East-connected terrorism in the United States during 2009, a record year for the number of attempted attacks on U.S. soil. Barry Rubin compares Western concepts of revolutionary Islam with the reality of that movement's ideology and power. Sean Foley presents some surprising data on changing gender roles in Arab states of the Persian Gulf. Other articles include Juan Jose Escobar Stemmann on the strong Muslim Brotherhood movement in Jordan; Christina Y. Lin on the vital weapons' proliferation supply from China and North Korea; David Rosenberg on the remarkably successful Israeli economy; and Adel Guindy on the oppression of Coptic Christians in Egypt.
