Jürgen Rogalski, 08.01.2021

Der SWP-WebMonitor Nahost/Nordafrika ist ein unentgeltliches, kompaktes Informations-
produkt mit ausgewählten Hinweisen auf aktuelle Stellungnahmen, Dokumente und Analy-
sen zu allen (außen-) politisch relevanten Fragen und Entwicklungen der Region. Bei allen
Titeln gibt es einen Link, meistens direkt zum Volltext. Grundlage der Erstellung ist ein über-
wiegend festgelegtes Set an Quellen: Webseiten, Blogs, Zeitschriften etc. Der Auswahl-Fokus
liegt neben Dokumenten auf wissenschaftlichen bzw. wissenschaftlich basierten Beiträgen.
Neben Titeln mit konkretem Länder- bzw. Regionalbezug werden auch solche berücksichtigt,
deren Thematik relevant ist für die Region. Der WebMonitor wird i.d.R. ein- bis zweimal wö-
chentlich erstellt, nicht aber bei Abwesenheit des Bearbeiters.

What goes around, comes around?
George Joffé
"A decade ago, in the wake of the Arab Awakening at the end of 2010, it seemed as if the Middle
East and North Africa was about to enter a new era of equitable governance and burgeoning eco-
nomic growth. Now, ten years later, it is as if those expectations were a complete illusion with arbi-
trary autocracy or civil war reasserting themselves, alongside the chimera of economic prosperity.
Only in Tunisia does a simulacrum of social revolution persist, despite a worsening economy, politi-
cal squabbling and peripheral violence. ..."

Reluctant Reception: Refugees, Migration and Governance in the Middle East and North Af-
rica
Kelsey P. Norman
" Seeking to understand why host states treat migrants and refugees inclusively, exclusively, or
without any direct engagement, Kelsey P. Norman offers this original, comparative analysis of the
politics of asylum seeking and migration in the Middle East and North Africa. ... Using the cases of
Egypt, Morocco and Turkey to develop her theory of 'strategic indifference', Norman demonstrates
how, by allowing migrants and refugees to integrate locally into large informal economies, and by
allowing organizations to provide basic services, host countries receive international credibility
while only exerting minimal state resources. ..." (CUP)

The language policy of the Caliphate State
Mashail Haydar Ali
"... examines and critiques the macro top-down constitutional language policy of the so-called the
Caliphate State, often referred to by the acronyms ISIS and ISIL. Although Shari'ah law, claimed to
be the only source of the Caliphate’s laws, does not legislate local, official and national language pol-
icies, the Caliphate constitutionalises language policy through the misappropriation of Quranic
verses. ..."
