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.
