Subject

Arab Spring
interdisciplinarity
macropolitics vs. micropolitics
anthropological turn
social science

Description

The purpose of this article is to outline some of the key changes andadvancements in social theory and research methodology that weretriggered during the period of scientific self-reflection after the events ofthe so-called Arab Spring. The ongoing turn towards decidedlymicropolitical and anthropological approaches has had a significant impactespecially on macropolitical and universalist disciplines which, much liketheir regional counterparts, were largely caught o! guard by the MiddleEastern developments from the turn of the last decade. These changesrepresent a very welcome corrective detour to the established trajectoriesof scientific development, especially so with regard to the existing andprolonged issues surrounding interdisciplinary research that havehistorically plagued the research in Middle Eastern politics and for whichnew possibilities of resolutions are hereby opened.
