Why a BLOG?

Welcome to our new channel!

The MEDirections blog is a space where our Research Community can have the opportunity to express opinions, give comments on news, events and developments, tell stories and generally share their points of view in a sharp and non-academic format.

Whereas the Medirections website http://middleeastdirections.eu/ is the Programme’s official interface, our blog aims to  give the opportunity for a broader and more timely debate on events, dynamics, trends and perspectives related to the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) that are of interest to every kind of audience, be that academics, policy-makers, practitioners and others who are willing to know more on this region.

The opinions published on this blog reflect the ideas and position of the author, and are not published in the name of the EUI.
