Middle East Law and Governance is an academic journal focused on legal and governance issues in the Middle East. The journal may cover research on legal systems, policymaking, and governance practices in the Middle East, providing a platform for in-depth discussion and exchange among scholars, policy makers, and practitioners. The journal is likely to focus specifically on legal issues and governance challenges specific to the Middle East, including constitutional development, judicial independence, legal pluralism, and the relationship between law and social change. In addition, the journal may also explore how the law works under different political systems and how legal reform can promote governance and social development.

Based on recent research from Laval University, a paper published in the journal, "Multi-Party Coalition Government in the Arab World: An Introduction," explores how the political form of multi-party coalition government that is not common in the Arab world works. Using the theories and concepts of comparative politics, the paper provides a detailed analysis of how these governments operate and finds many similarities with multi-party coalition governments in other regions.
