Welcome to ASMEA
ASMEA is a new academic society dedicated to promoting the highest standards of research and teaching in Middle Eastern and African studies, and related fields. It is a response to the mounting interest in these increasingly inter-related fields, and the absence of any single group addressing them in a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary fashion.
ASMEA is, first and foremost, a community of scholars concerned to protect academic freedom and promote the search for truth to reach new heights in inquiry. The Association will advance the discourse in these fields by offering its members new opportunities to publish and present ideas to the academic community and beyond.
ASMEA will offer its assistance to established and new scholars, including un-tenured faculty, graduate students, and those in related fields to expand the body of scholars and knowledge.

Reviewed by Harvey Glickman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Haverford College.
Observers of African politics recognize that democratization in a number of African states is indeed occurring—characterized by several reasonably free and competitive elections, peaceful transfers of power, an environment of free speech, an expanding civil society. Continue To Read

Emerging West African Terror-Drug Nexus Poses Major Security Threat(01/28/2010) J. Peter Pham, World Defense Review Over the course of the last month, the foiled attempt by would-be "underwear bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up a Detroit-bound passenger flight on Christmas Day has underscored the dangers of ignoring threats from Africa to the security of the United States,
Obama and Africa: A One-Year Assessment(01/21/2010) J. Peter Pham, World Defense Review Exactly one year ago, Barack Obama’s inauguration as the forty-fourth President of the United States of America was celebrated by millions of men, women, and children who, quite literally, danced in the streets, even though they had never met him, much less had no formal part in the historic election that brought him to office.
