Middle East

Perspectives Middle East & North Africa is a publication series of the Middle East & North African offices of the Heinrich Böll Stiftung. With this series, we intend to let experts from Southeastern Europe express their views about current political issues in their region. The series will provide political analyses and assessments that are well-founded, concise and relevant. Our aim is to make a contribution to a highly diversified debate - in which people from Southeastern Europe with a special insight into what is happening in their part of the world can express their thoughts. We intend publishing contributions from think tanks and universities, from journalists, politicians, as well as civil society representatives. representatives.

This series of literary essays by authors from the region reflects what the protagonists hoped for and how they look today at what they have achieved, a kind of "look back to the future". They make clear how important personal confrontations are in order to develop political alternatives.
