We are
delighted to announce that the fifth annual conference of the Asian Sphere
Program will take place on Monday-Wednesday, 16-18 December 2019, at the
University of Haifa, Israel. The Asian
Sphere Program takes a fresh look at the continent of Asia as a concept and as
a reality. It aims at exploring and analyzing the numerous interconnections
that have tied its people, cities, and nations. Our fifth conference is devoted
to the complex relations between West Asia, also known as the Middle East, and
other parts of the continent in the past and present. We are interested in
particular in the political, military, economic and cultural aspects of the
relations, their determinants, undercurrents, and trajectories, as well as in
other external players in the region. We
invite paper proposals in one of the following thematic domains:
a) Prehistorical and historical multilateral
connections (including unilateral migrations)
between the Middle East and Asia (East, South, Central).
b) New perspectives on historical involvement,
competition and rivalry of Asian powers in the Middle East.
c) Globalization, the Middle East and Asia.
d) World powers' involvement in Asia-Middle East
interaction.
e) The role of the Middle East in Asian powers'
relations with other world/ regional powers.
f) Asian countries' interaction with non-Mideast
players in the context of the Middle East.
g) Involvement of Mideast players in Asian
affairs.
h) Israel’s current involvement in Asian
dynamics.
i) Asian countries' interaction with
Israel.
j) The involvement of non-Asian players in
Israel's relations with Asian powers.
