Subject: Help Support MERIA Journal

Dear MERIA Journal Subscriber,

Since we began over a decade ago, the Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal's articles have provided readers with authoritative information and serious scholarship on all aspects of the Middle East, including timely analysis of the region's key developments.

Due to our reputation as a serious, intelligent academic publication, MERIA Journal has become the most widely read academic publication focusing on the Middle East, with over 24,000 government officials, academic experts, military officers, and informed laymen in over 100 countries reading each issue. We are one of the few such forums to succeed in reaching audiences as wide as the Arab world and Iran.

Additionally, MERIA Journal's French edition features original publications in French on contemporary issues in the Middle East. MERIA Journal's French edition enjoys a fantastic reception and is recognized as filling an important gap.

Beyond the quality of the Journal, a crucial reason for our success has been our ability to provide MERIA Journal free of charge to our email subscribers. Equally as important, we are one of the only academic journals to allow free and unrestricted access to all of our articles online. As a result, over 93,195 people visit our site every month.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO REMAIN FREE OF CHARGE

While our costs of production are less than that of print journals, editing and publishing articles, as well as website and email list maintenance, all require considerable amounts of financial resources and staff time.
