Contemporary Review of the Middle East (CRME)

Contemporary Review of the Middle East (CRME) is a respected quarterly, peer‑reviewed academic journal that facilitates informed and original scholarship on current political, economic, social and cultural developments across the Middle East. Launched in 2014 by the Middle East Institute (MEI) in New Delhi in partnership with SAGE Publications, the journal offers rigorous research articles, critical essays, book reviews, and features such as oral history and election analyses that deepen understanding of regional events and processes. It bridges disciplinary boundaries — incorporating political science, international relations, cultural studies, economics, and area studies — to illuminate how contemporary dynamics such as security politics, governance transformations, foreign policy, economic reforms, conflict and peace processes, and identity issues shape the region’s trajectories. CRME’s thematic diversity and scholarly rigor make it a valuable resource for academics, policy analysts, think tanks and practitioners engaged in Middle Eastern affairs. With contributions from global scholars and an editorial commitment to multidisciplinary perspectives, the journal fosters critical engagement with pressing issues that impact local populations and global geopolitics alike. Its inclusion in major indexing services enhances visibility and accessibility, positioning it as a credible platform for advancing nuanced, evidence‑based discourse on the complex realities of the Middle East.
