Dear readers, Oñati Socio-Legal Series is out with issue number 5 of the year: Historical and Comparative Macrosociology of Middle Eastern Legal Systems. The issue, edited by Nathan J. Brown and Saïd A. Arjomand, is a collection of articles by top scholars in the field, who attended a specialized workshop at the IISL in 2018. According to the issue editors, The understanding of law in the Middle East requires not simply different disciplinary perspectives but bringing disciplines into dialogue with each other. It also requires analysis that crosses historical periods in order to understand legal systems as ones that develop over time based on longstanding traditions and earlier transformations, not simply European intrusion. We present a series of analyses by scholar who, while anchored in their own discipline, historical focus, and geographical specialization consciously work to address a broad social scientific audience. We sincerely encourage you to read, download, and share these articles, by posting them or their DOI links in your social or academic media, and, of course, by citing and referencing them and using them as sources in your own work. On the other hand, if you would like to coordinate a thematic issue, we will be happy to receive your Special Issue proposal, to publish in 2022. Feel free to ask any questions at l.kortabarria@iisj.es. If accepted, your work and that of the issue contributors will be indexed in Clarivate's Web of Science Core Collection and in Elsevier's Scopus. As always, thank you for your support. Best wishes, Leire |
