The International Journal of Levant Studies, No. 6/2024, MEGA Publishing House, 2025
Price: 39,96 lei
The scientific journal of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Levant Culture and Civilization aims to elaborate a holistic and broad-ranging vision of the region, beginning from a series of analyses of its particular tangible and intangible heritage, of the traditions and religious myths that emerged from this space, going on to identify potential conflicts approached through the lens of cultural diplomacy. These editorial objectives have long been a sought-after goal for researchers in Romania as well as many other Central and South-Eastern European states.
Through the studies it includes, the Journal aims to explore both the historical facets and current realities of the cultural wealth of this expansive region which harboured countless peoples over the millennia that, each in turn, have passed down their culture, religion, philosophy, sciences and democracy to the present day.
