About the Project

Project term: April, 2022–March, 2025

From antiquity to the present day, the Mediterranean Sea has connected the regions along its coasts and enabled the movement of people, goods, information, and more. As the networks established by the sea were dynamic ones—rather than static ones—linked to the states controlling these lands, they created historical and regional diversities. This project focuses on the roles of people moving across diverse boundaries—be they political, sectarian, or ethnic— in the region. By so doing, it elucidates the formation of Mediterranean networks without losing this history to nationalist narratives. The project will involve researchers specializing in various periods and be based at the Japan Center for Middle Eastern Studies (JaCMES) in Beirut.
