Jadaliyya () is an independent ezine founded in 2010 by the Arab Studies Institute (ASI) to cover the Arab World and the broader Middle East. It publishes articles in Arabic, French, English and Turkish, and is run primarily on a volunteer basis by an editorial team, and an expanding pool of contributors that includes academics, journalists, activists and artists.
Overview
Jadaliyya (جدلية) is derived from the , meaning "dialectic."{{cite web |url=http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/documenting-hope-jadaliyya-publishes-collection-arab-uprisings |title=Documenting hope: Jadaliyya publishes collection on Arab uprisings |access-date=2012-11-02 |last=Antoun |first=Naira |date=2012-11-02 |publisher=Al-masry Al-youm (English Edition)
Jadaliyya's co-editors are unpaid volunteers and the magazine does not accept advertising. While most of Jadaliyya is either self-funded or funded by barter for "big projects," it has received grants from the Open Society Institute. According to Portal 9: "The Arab uprisings, which gained momentum only a few months after Jadaliyya was established, firmly catapulted it to the forefront of critical debates and analysis of the Arab world."
George Mason University professor Bassam Haddad, its founding editor, said that Jadaliyya aspires to "offer a scholarly, left-of-center ‘counter discourse’ to the mainstream conversation about the Arab world." It is described both by its readers and its contributors as progressive, pro-Palestinian, and post-Orientialist. Articles are often skeptical of American foreign policy and focused on the impact of colonial and postcolonial power relations. Georgetown University professor and contributor Elliot Colla noted, "I couldn't say there's a dogma; in fact there's a lot of argument and debate [....] but there is a political project." Another editor described Jadaliyya as "friends publishing friends on issues they agree upon."
History
Jadaliyya is one in a series of knowledge production projects under the rubric of ASI. These include an academic research journal (est. 1992), a documentary film collective (2003), and a publishing house (2012). According to Haddad (a founder of ASI){{cite web |url=http://pia.gmu.edu/people/bhaddad |title=Faculty and Staff: Bassam S. Haddad |access-date=2012-12-01 |publisher=George Mason University |archive-date=2013-01-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130126090849/http://pia.gmu.edu/people/bhaddad |url-status=dead
In 2009, influenced by new developments in social media, Haddad revisited the project with Antoon, Sherene Seikaly, Nadya Sbaiti, Noura Erakat, and Maya Mikdashi. They completed a private test launch of Jadaliyya during the summer of 2010 and officially launched the ezine on September 21, 2010. The editorial team expanded and to 15 co-editors.
Jadaliyya was founded on "an anti-corporate and solidarity-based model of work. Whenever possible, our mode of operation is largely non-hierarchical, though not without leadership." The goal of the co-editors was to make an interactive and "user-friendly" website with open language (English, Arabic, and French) and submission length. The editors utilized a number of social media formats including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, tablet and mobile phone apps, and Readspeaker. According to Haddad: "nearly every submission goes through a rigorous review process that includes at least two reviews before going to the copy editor."{{Cite web | first1 =Nat | last1 =Muller | first2 =Omar | last2 =Kholeif | title =Reviews and Critique: Jadaliyya | date =Autumn 2012 | publisher =Portal 9 | url =http://portal9journal.org/articles.aspx?id=76 | access-date =2012-11-29 | archive-date =2012-12-16 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20121216035540/http://portal9journal.org/articles.aspx?id=76 | url-status =dead
Response
Jadaliyya has been influential in both education and the media. Ursula Lindsey in The Chronicle of Higher Education noted that Jadaliyya has "become a reference for many professors in the field. It reaches beyond academia as well. Updated daily, the site boasts about half a million unique visitors a month, and its articles are widely shared on social media [....] Jadaliyya’s reception has been largely positive among scholars of the Middle East."{{cite news |url=http://chronicle.com/article/Arab-Studies-E-Zine-Hopes-to/149013/ |title=Arab-Studies E-Zine Hopes to Counter Mainstream Narrative |access-date=2014-09-29 |last=Lindsey |first=Ursula |date=2014-09-29 |newspaper= The Chronicle of Higher Education ::quote Jadaliyya has quickly become the go-to place for information and analysis of what is [[2011 Egyptian revolution ::

Timothy Mitchell, professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Columbia University, observed that "as the work of scholars and activists with a rich knowledge of the region's histories and political aspirations, the essays offer lasting insights into the forces shaping a new moment in world history." Laleh Khalili, Senior Lecturer in Middle East Politics, SOAS, University of London suggested that The Dawn of the Arab Uprisings: End of an Old Order? is "a very rare combination - scholarly but also accessible for a broad public." She also argues that it will be "a much-treasured volume for undergraduate students, and its sophistication will also benefit postgraduates and academics."
