The thesis attempts to illuminate the construction process of the Middle East as a
separate region. Within this context, it first seeks to find out what a region means.
For this sake, the thesis outlines the historical development of the discipline of
geography and the changing meanings of region in line with the disciplinary
developments. Furthermore, it concentrates on the emergence of the region
Middle East, its denomination and transformation along with changing
international politics. Finally, the thesis evaluates the existence of the ethnocentric
geographical term Middle East within the context of current global conditions.
