My engagement with the social history of the Middle East, as I embarked on graduate studies, coincided with Judith Tucker's lamentation in 1990 that it was a field understudied to the point of being largely ignored. I came to the study of this new region with training in the native history of Canada, which had introduced me to the challenges and rewards of reconstructing the stories of people who had been denied agency in a narrative dominated by European conquest and nation-building.

If historians of the Middle East have turned their attention to the environment rather later than those in other subfields, a recent crop of books indicates that a new generation of scholars has spent much productive time considering environmental histories of other geographies. The books reviewed in this essay stand out for their insistence on examining Middle Eastern environments as both ecological facts and representational spaces. Taken in concert, they indicate the vibrancy of environmental history in the field. Moreover, their careful attention to methodology and creative use of sources opens up spaces for new investigations of politics, culture, and religion as mediated through environmental management and representation. Following on the recent work of Diana K. Davis, Edmund Burke III, and others, these historians have marshaled environmental, climatological, epidemiological, biological, and geological data for historical argument. Thus, the resulting works situate themselves deeply within their respective historiographic narratives, yet also interrupt, redelineate, and unsettle those narrative assumptions. At its best, the so-called "environmental turn" in the history of the Middle East represents not an intellectual fashion, but rather a major methodological shift that involves a reframing of our understanding of the formation of the field.

"The End of Middle East History and Other Conjectures is an unapologetic collection of imaginative essays from thought-provoking Middle East scholar Richard W. Bulliet. Not your ordinary think pieces, this volume collects for the first time Bulliet's Big Bang-Big Crunch theory of Islamic history and his illuminating conception of the "Muslim South." Speculations range from future political events to counterfactual histories of how reversal of the outcome of a 1529 battle might have profoundly altered history. After fifty years of posing and answering daring historical questions, Bulliet happily tackles an array of conjectures on subjects as diverse as the origin of civilization, the end of Middle East history, and future interpretations of the twentieth century"

Statistical findings presented in this paper suggest that the writing and research in Middle Eastern history in the United States is narrowly focused and specialized, and that there are relatively few historians of the modern Middle East. (DÜI-Hns)

This study analyzes the problem of transnational terrorism from the standpoint of an integrated approach not only through the prism of global socio-economic processes, but also in the context of geopolitical confrontation between different actors, trying to strengthen their positions in the Middle East.The article reveals the concept of «transnational terrorism», analyzes the preconditions for the emergence of terrorist organizations in the Middle East, considers the social base of transnational terrorist organizations on the example of such influential actors of modern terrorism as ISIS, Al-Qaeda,«Muslim Brotherhood». A special place in the article is occupied by the assessment of methods of combating transnational terrorism by the world community. In this regard, a number of declarations and security agreements adopted at the time by major international organizations were analyzed, which allows us to speak about the importance of this issue not only at the regional but also at the global level. Given the complexity of the ongoing processes in the Middle East, the author concludes that even the hypothetical elimination of all radical organizations will not provide a stable situation in the region. Only by eradicating its fundamental preconditions and reasons mentioned in the article, we can expect positive results.
