During the year of2013，the stability and development in the Middle East are still the main research topics for scholars on Middle East studies at home and abroad，and emerge a large number of new works. The foreign scholars are focus on further research on Middle East upheaval，hot issues and unstable countries，such as the Iranian nuclear issue and Syria issue. The new topics of home studies are the relationship between Middle East countries and emerging countries as well as the transformation and rebuilding of some countries after the Middle East upheaval. Our institute studies team has been growing，and achieved lots of innovative and prospective works. In addition，organizations and scholars on Middle East studies pay more attention to the communication with each other，which is particularly prominent during 2013.
