We are delighted to announce the editorial board for the MENA POLITICS NEWSLETTER. The Newsletter is the official publication of the APSA Section on MENA Politics. We hope it will become a central forum for the community of political scientists working on and in the Middle East and North Africa, with a wide range of provocative and compelling essays of interest across the field.  Essays and special sections will feature original research, provocative reflections on fieldwork and methodology, discussions of emergent research programmes, reviews of multiple new publications, and provocations designed to stimulate academic debate.

Section Chair Marc Lynch (George Washington University) will serve as the Editor for the first two issues: 2, no.1 (spring 2019) and 2, no.2 (fall 2019). Lauren Baker (Northwestern University) is the Assistant Editor. The Section is actively seeking an editor for the 2020 volume.
