The Development Studies Association recognises the scale of the humanitarian emergency that civilians across the region are experiencing.  

We have compiled this list of resources to aid those who seek a better understanding of the current situation including the historical and political roots of this crisis.  The list below, while not exhaustive, includes a range of recently published resources from our members and development centres. Researchers working in this area who wish for their work to be added should email the Communications officer. 

Our membership directory allows anyone to search for those who focus on the Middle East or peace and conflict.
