Middle East Research and Information Project (MERIP)MERIP provides critical, alternative reporting and analysis, focusing on state power, political economy and social hierarchies as well as popular struggles and the role of US policy in the region. MERIP seeks to reach academics, journalists, non-governmental and governmental organizations and informed citizens who want knowledgeable analysis and critical resources about contemporary political developments.
MERIP is not a peer-reviewed academic journal, but rather a curated platform for critical analysis and discussion that brings informed perspectives to a broader audience. MERIP was established in 1971 to educate and inform the public about contemporary Middle East affairs. MERIP publishes a quarterly print magazine, Middle East Report, as well as frequent articles, updates and educational primers on its website.
