Dear Colleague,

Enclosed in a file attachment is a "Call for Papers" for the Journal
of Social Affairs (JSA).  We would be very grateful if you would
inform your colleagues and publicize the Call for Papers in whatever
ways you deem to be appropriate.

The JSA is a broadly based journal which accepts manuscripts on a
wide array of topics, mainly in the humanities and social sciences.
It is recognized as one of the leading academic journals in the
Middle East for these fields.  In the past, the JSA was published
exclusively in Arabic.  The Fall 2001 issue is the first which will
be published in English.  It is also the first issue which will be
published by the American University of Sharjah (AUS).  In the event
that it is of interest, I include a few words about AUS both after my
contact information below, and after the Call for Papers.

Thank you very much in advance for your efforts at publicizing the
Call for Papers.  If you or your colleagues would like any further
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Nada Mourtada-Sabbah
Ph.D., Université de Paris II
JSA, Deputy Editor-In-Chief

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Journal of Social Affairs

The Journal of Social Affairs (JSA) wel-comes manuscripts from a wide
variety of fields, including anthropolo-gy, cul-tural studies,
eco-nom-ics, education, histo-ry, international relations, law,
philosophy, psy-chology, and sociolo-gy.  The aim of the Journal is
to promote the flow of those scholarly works that will be of benefit
to the United Arab Emirates in partic-ular, and the Middle East in
general.  Some preference will be given to manu-scripts which are of
direct relevance to the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East, but
other manu-scripts are also very much en-cour-aged.

Under the condi-tions of a new agreement signed January 30, 2001, the
Journal of Social Af-fairs will be pub-lished jointly by the American
University of Sharjah (AUS) and the Socio-logical Asso-ciation of the
United Arab Emirates.  The Sociological Association has been
publishing the JSA for 17 years, exclu-sively in Arabic.  Un-der the
new agreement, however, approxi-mate-ly half of each issue will be
pub-lished in English (com-menc-ing with the Fall issue of 2001).
The Journal will therefore become more acces-sible to schol-ars
throughout the world.  The JSA is currently recognized as one of the
leading social sci-ence jour-nals in the Mid-dle East, and is widely
read in such coun-tries as Egypt, Ku-wait, Iraq, Jordan, Oman,
Qa-tar, Saudi Ara-bia, Syria, and the Unit-ed Arab Emir-ates.

The JSA is published quarterly.  All submissions for publication
undergo blind peer reviews by multi-ple reviewers.  Manuscripts are
acknowl-edged within two weeks of re-ceipt.  Every attempt will be
made to inform au-thors about the suitability of submit-ted
manuscripts for publica-tion within three months.
