The Future of Area Studies: The Middle East.

Winder, R. B.

Society, v22 n4 p15-16 May-Jun 1985

Describes problems in Middle Eastern studies, focusing on: (1) the problem of access for students and faculty conducting research due to countries being completely closed or highly restrictive; (2) declines in Middle Eastern and American corporate donations to language and area studies as oil prices decrease; and (3) the difficulties inherent in the Arabic language.
