SWP-Informationsservices Jürgen Rogalski, 31.07.2020

Der SWP-WebMonitor Nahost/Nordafrika ist ein unentgeltliches, kompaktes Informations-produkt mit ausgewählten Hinweisen auf aktuelle Stellungnahmen, Dokumente und Analy-sen zu allen (außen-) politisch relevanten Fragen und Entwicklungen der Region. Bei allen Titeln gibt es einen Link, meistens direkt zum Volltext. Grundlage der Erstellung ist ein über-wiegend festgelegtes Set an Quellen: Webseiten, Blogs, Zeitschriften etc. Der Auswahl-Fokus liegt neben Dokumenten auf wissenschaftlichen bzw. wissenschaftlich basierten Beiträgen. Neben Titeln mit konkretem Länder- bzw. Regionalbezug werden auch solche berücksichtigt, deren Thematik relevant ist für die Region. Der WebMonitor wird i.d.R. ein- bis zweimal wö-chentlich erstellt, nicht aber bei Abwesenheit des Bearbeiters.
