This issue of Siasat al-Insaf brings you an in-depth critical analysis of ongoing and historical issues of the Middle East and tries to counter the hegemonic-absolutism of Western perspectives that have for so long defined and constructed the ‘Oriental,’ offering readers a fresh perspective and lens to understand and gauge important truths of the region, its politics, cultures, and its people. This issue also brings to you an academic guide on the technique and details of conducting political discourse analysis as an important tool of study in international relations and political science.
