International Order Perception and Cross-Border Migration in Middle Eastern Nations

This book clarifies two points. First, how the general public perceives the international order of the Middle East region, the second, where they aim to go beyond the borders of their homeland. For the first question, we approach it using the analytical concept of a political mental map. For the second question, we answer it by empirically analysing hypotheses derived from international migration theory.　The purpose of the book attempts to quantitatively elucidate the political consciouness and experiences of the general public in order to find the uniqueness and charm of the Middle Eastern area studies and to overcome the “Middle East Exceptionalism.”
