The Middle East (also called the Mid East) is a transcontinental region centered on Western Asia and Egypt. The corresponding adjective is Middle-Eastern and the derived noun is Middle-Easterner. Formerly, the Eurocentric synonym Near East (as opposed to Far East) was commonly used. Arabs, Azeris, Kurds, Persians, and Turks constitute the largest ethnic groups in the region by population, while Armenians, Assyrians, Circassians, Copts, Druze, Jews, Maronites, Somalis, and other ethnic and ethno-religious groups form significant minorities.
The History of the Middle East dates back to ancient times, with the (geo-political) importance of the region being recognized for millennia. Several major religions have their origins in the Middle East, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; the Baha'i faith, Mandaeism, Unitarian Druze, and numerous other belief systems were also established within the region. The Middle East generally has a hot, arid climate, with several major rivers providing irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas such as the Nile Delta in Egypt, the Tigris and Euphrates watersheds of Mesopotamia, and most of what is known as the Fertile Crescent. Most of the countries that border the Persian Gulf have vast reserves of crude oil, with the dictatorships of the Arabian Peninsula in particular benefiting from petroleum exports. In modern times the Middle East remains a strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously sensitive region.
Global Policy is a peer-reviewed academic journal based at Durham University focusing on the "point where ideas and policy meet", published in association with Wiley-Blackwell.
The journal was launched at the 4th Global Public Policy Network conference at the London School of Economics and Political Science on Monday 22 March 2010, with near simultaneous launch events held in Beijing and Brussels. The theme of the one day conference was "Global Challenges: Global Impact". The General Editors are David Held, Eva-Maria Nag and Dani Rodrik.
Its first issue included articles by UK Development Secretary Douglas Alexander, General David Petraeus, Head of US Central Command, Mary Kaldor and Ian Goldin and Tiffany Vogel of Oxford University.
The journal's first edition defines its six main foci

A year on from the EU Referendum, academics, the media, politicians and policy makers have sought to understand why the UK public voted for Brexit. One demographic in particular has come under scrutiny for their apparent role in the leave vote. In this episode Sue Windebank asks what Brexit can tell us about the white working class?

In this interview, Director of LSE's Institute of Global Affairs, Professor Erik Berglof, explains the vision behind the newly-launched Global Policy Lab. LSE IGA’s Global Policy Lab (G-POL) aims to harness the world’s combined brainpower to generate fresh thinking and research-based policy solutions to urgent global challenges. Global collaboration and international institutions are under threat from both sides: emerging economies have been questioning their underrepresentation in global decision making for quite some time, but some advanced economies have also started raising questions about the benefits of globalization and its supporting international system. G-POL joins up emerging and advanced economies in designing and testing innovative, research-based and locally-rooted solutions...
In 2015, civil war broke out in Yemen, swiftly followed by military intervention by a Saudi-led coalition intended to restore to power the deposed but legitimate government. Yemen was already the poorest country in the Middle East before the start of the fighting, with high levels of food insecurity, infant mortality and child malnutrition, and during the past two years, macroeconomic conditions have severely deteriorated. The majority of Yemenis live in rural areas, yet policy-oriented research and media reporting on the current conflict tend to focus on the situation in major cities. In March, the LSE Middle East Centre convened a workshop to explore the scale of need of Yemen’s population, and to look at the extent to which rural and urban livelihoods were directly affected by the fight...

Loss mich falle wie Schnei
Blos mich wie en Fedder en d'r Wind
Loss mich falle wie d'r eetste Schnei
Janz leis
Streu' mich wie Stäne en de Nach
Loss mich föhle wie am eetste Dach
Un met Mondlech deck mich zo
Komm deck mich zo
Ich setz et Sejel für en lange Reis'
Ich well fahre für en Iwigkeit
Loss mich drieve op däm lange Wäch
Wohin d'r Wind mich drät
Loss mich falle wie Schnei
Blos mich wie en Fedder en d'r Wind
Loss mich falle wie d'r eetste Schnei
Janz leis
Hüre Leeder die d'r Wind verzällt
Treck' met de Wolke hu am Firmament
Un ich verklinge wie e Woot vun Dir
D'r Himmel es e Deil vun mir
Streu' mich wie Stäne en de Nach
Loss mich föhle wie am eetste Dach
Un met Mondlech deck mich zo
Komm deck mich zo
