The journal engages with various disciplines including political science, sociology, and history to explore international relations, particularly in the Mediterranean context. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of complex geopolitical dynamics. - Focus on Gender and Representation:
A consistent theme in the journal is the exploration of gender roles and representation in political and social contexts. This includes women's participation in political processes and the impact of gender on cultural narratives. - Historical Contextualization:
The journal often situates contemporary issues within historical frameworks, providing insights into how past events shape present dynamics in Mediterranean societies. - Cultural and Social Movements:
The publication frequently examines cultural expressions and social movements across the Mediterranean, analyzing how they influence and respond to political changes and identity constructions. - Regional Security and Political Dynamics:

Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Global Conflicts on the Mediterranean:
With papers addressing the repercussions of events such as the Ukrainian War on North Africa and the Middle East, there is a growing interest in how global conflicts influence regional stability and security. - Islamophobia and Political Participation:
A rising trend in the journal is the examination of Islamophobia and its implications for political engagement, particularly in Europe. This reflects broader societal concerns about identity, belonging, and the rise of populism. - Cultural Representations and Identity Politics:
There is an increasing focus on how cultural representations shape identities in the Mediterranean, especially regarding marginalized communities such as Amazigh and LGBTQ+ populations. - Environmental and Energy Issues:
Emerging themes related to environmental challenges and energy politics in the Mediterranean, including renewable energy deployment and its socio-political implications, indicate a shift towards sustainability discussions. - Youth and Social Movements:
Research on youth activism and social movements, particularly in the context of the Arab Spring and subsequent protests, is becoming more prevalent, highlighting the role of younger generations in shaping political discourse.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Colonial Studies:
There has been a noticeable reduction in the number of papers focused specifically on colonial histories and their direct implications on current socio-political contexts, indicating a potential shift towards more contemporary issues. - Traditional Political Theories:
The exploration of classical political theories in the context of Mediterranean studies seems to be diminishing in favor of more contemporary analyses, such as populism and radical movements. - Static Gender Perspectives:
Research that solely examines gender issues without integrating them into broader socio-political contexts is becoming less frequent, suggesting a move towards intersectional approaches that consider multiple identities and experiences. - Focus on Specific National Case Studies:
There seems to be a decline in the emphasis on isolated national case studies in favor of comparative analyses that consider broader regional trends and dynamics.
