最近、仕事で中東に行く機会があったのですが、やっぱりヨーロッパからは5-6時間でエジプトに行けたりするので、中東はずっと近いですね。「近東」という言葉が使われていたこともうなづけました。

Near East (French: Proche-Orient) is a geographical term that roughly encompasses Western Asia. Despite having varying definitions within different academic circles, the term was originally applied to the maximum extent of the Ottoman Empire. The term has fallen into disuse in English and has been replaced by the term Middle East.
According to the National Geographic Society, the terms Near East and Middle East denote the same territories and are "generally accepted as comprising the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestinian territories, Syria, and Turkey".[1] The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations defines the region similarly, but also includes Afghanistan while excluding the countries of North Africa and the Palestinian territories.[2]
The term has fallen into disuse in English and has been replaced by the term Middle East.とあるように英英辞書ではNear Eastという見出しはすべてMiddle Eastを参照先にされていました。どの辞書も地理的位置を説明しているだけですが、説明の仕方がいろいろあって面白いですね。

ヨーロッパ中心主義だという批判は置いておいて、ヨーロッパの人にとっては中東は近いんだなと現地に赴いて実感できました。地域分けでEMEAとしてヨーロッパ、中東、アフリカをひとまとめにすることがあるんですが、ずっと強引な分け方だと思ったのですがあながち無理なものでもないなという気がしてきました。

EMEAは、英語の"Europe, the Middle East and Africa"の略で、ヨーロッパ、中東及びアフリカを指す。
ビジネス上の用語で、特に米国に基盤を置く多国籍企業や調査会社などによって、世界の地域を区分する場合の一区分として用いられることが多い。
EMEA (or EMEIA if India is included) is a shorthand designation meaning Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It is used by institutions and governments, as well as in marketing and business. It is particularly common among North American companies.
The region is generally accepted to include all European nations, all African nations, and extends east to Iran, including Russia. Typically this does not include independent overseas territories of mainland countries in the region, such as French Guyana.
