Dear reader,

welcome to The Past in Present – A Contemporary Middle Eastern Project. The goal of this website is to promote research on the modern Middle East across the scientific fields. This is a humble beginning where I share my current and former projects on the topic and present some useful information and links for fellow researchers and curious readers.

Additionally, this first “Home” section is reserved for various contributions in a blog-like manner. Please note that unless otherwise indicated, these entries do not so much represent scientific research as they do subjective opinions on political developments and global affairs. This often features outside content and media of which this site does not own the copyrights.

Finally, readers are highly encouraged to comment, share their opinions, and I am happy to feature guest posts. Of course, with respect to common curtesy on all matters where opinions diverge.

Nils Lukacs
