History

The Middle East Institute (MEI) was founded in 1946 in Washington, DC by a group of diplomats and scholars who aimed to promote the study of the region in a modern, policy-relevant context. From its outset, one of MEI's priorities was "[t]he editing and publishing of an authoritative journal on Middle Eastern affairs. "[1] Accordingly, the first issue of the Journal appeared in January 1947. In its "Editorial Foreword," the following mission for the new publication appeared:

Even though the American people may be suffering from a surfeit of periodical publications, no apology need be offered for adding a quarterly journal relating to the Middle East. Except to a very few Americans - Foreign Service and Army officers, educators, businessmen, travelers - this area is essentially terra incognita. Such a circumstance was a matter of no great practical consequence when the world was large and only loosely knit together. Now that the Middle East is very near the United States in point of time-distance and almost equally near with respect to matters of concern in American foreign policy, it deserves such thoughtful attention as can be initiated and encouraged through the pages of The Middle East Journal. [2]

In its earlier years, the Journal covered regional issues and history in the 19th and 20th centures; in the 1980s, however, the Journal would restrict its coverage to the post-World War II era. The Journal publishes articles from a range of disciplines, including political science, history, sociology, anthropology, economics, among others.
