Abstract
TAWIL, Marta. The Study of the Middle East within the Discipline of International Relations in Mexico.Translated byMaría Fernanda López Portillo Alcocer. Foro int [online]. 2016, vol.56, n.3, pp.614-632. ISSN 0185-013X.
Predominant topics as well as methodological and theoretical tools are identified, which are then linked to the question of knowing how the growing interest in the Middle East among Mexican internationalists, and their efforts in this field, are effectively reflected in the policy relevance and public engagement of academics and scholars. The information presented here is mostly based on BA, Masters degree and PhD theses on Middle Eastern issues and countries that have been written by students of international relations since 1980 in four Mexican universities; it shows that there is a pending agenda, related to problems in research and documentation networks, a lack of financial resources, and the priorities set out by Mexico's geographical position, and its relationship with the United States.
