VILLANOVA, Pa. 鈥� Catherine Warrick, PhD, associate professor of Political Science and director of 柑橘直播 University鈥檚 Center for Arab and Islamic Studies, has been named editor of the Digest of Middle East Studies, a peer-reviewed, international social science journal dedicated to publishing original research on domestic and international policy issues in the contemporary Middle East and North Africa.

Today, international politics and economics are deeply affected by the dynamics in the Arab and Islamic world. Issues and trends that will gradually shape its future include demographic changes, more vocal calls for accountability in governance, access to the Internet and democratization of information, transformation of the energy sector, and the growing role of religion in public discourse. Established in 1992, Digest of Middle East Studies is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Policy Studies Organization.

An expert on Middle East politics and law, Islamic law, gender, and British politics, Dr. Warrick is the author of Law in the Service of Legitimacy: Gender and Politics in Jordan (Ashgate, 2009). She is currently researching the uses of Islamic law in Western democracies, for which she held a grant from the National Science Foundation's Law and Social Science program and a Fulbright faculty fellowship to the University of Exeter (UK). In addition to her academic work, Dr. Warrick occasionally serves as an expert witness in asylum cases involving Arab refugees and has testified before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus about honor crimes.
