Directed by Professor Barry
Rubin, the GLORIA Center produces up-to-date, insightful analysis and reporting
on modern Middle East affairs, for a variety of audiences. We focus on the key
subjects of the day--Israel-Palestinian issues, Iran, Syria, Egypt, and
other crucial areas of the region. Through our use of primary sources and
collecting information on the ground, we provide accurate analysis in order to
influence the state of the region. Professor
Rubin is an acknowledged, veteran and prolific analyst of the politics of the
Middle East. Senior Research Fellow Dr.
Jonathan Spyer has visited Syria several times during the course of the civil
war, witnessing developments first-hand. GLORIA is one of the most dynamic,
versatile and active Mid-East think-tanks in the world today.
Some
highlights of GLORIA’s work in 2013 and the coming year:
- Free Books: 13 full-text books have been
made available online, including on the Israel-Palestinian conflict,
Syria, U.S. policy, Jewish assimilation, and more.
- Islamic Political and Social
Movements: Edited by Barry Rubin and published
by Routledge (2013), this truly ground-breaking and timely work collects
for the first time in one reference work the latest scholarship on a previously-neglected
aspect of the Muslim political and social experience, and will be
invaluable to researchers and students across a wide range of disciplines.
- Nazis, Islamists and the Making of
the Modern Middle East: Forthcoming in February 2014
(Yale University Press) by Barry Rubin and Wolfgang G. Schwanitz, the
book focuses on the unique and
lasting political alliance forged among Third Reich leaders, Arab
nationalists, and Muslim religious authorities during the 1930s and 1940s.
- Silent Revolution: How the Left Rose
to Political Power and Cultural Dominance: Forthcoming in April 2014 (Harper
Collins), by Barry Rubin, this
thorough history exposes the radicalism that masquerades as liberalism
today and charts the movement's unchecked rise to cultural and political
power.
- Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA): Our quarterly journal features articles on developments
in the region, including U.S. policy, radical movements, minorities, and a recent special issue on Syria. MERIA is the most widely
read journal of its type in the world, with a circulation of over 25,000.
- Turkish Studies: Turkey
is a country whose importance is rapidly growing in international affairs.
It is playing an increasingly critical role in Europe, the Middle East,
and the Caucasus. Given Turkey’s significance
and the great interest in studying its history, politics, and foreign
policy, the Turkish Studies quarterly journal presents a forum
for scholarly discussion on these topics and more.
