PSCI 167 - War and Peace in the Middle East

Institution:

Drew University

Subject:

Description:

Wars and numerous peacemaking initiatives have affected the Middle East's socio-economic and political development. Why has this region been marred by wars? Is the lack of democratic structures or strong regional organizations built on neo-liberal principles the problem? Or is it the legacy of imperialism and the continued interference of the great powers? This course will provide answers to these questions by studying three conflicts: (1) the Arab-Israeli conflict, especially the struggle between Israelis and Palestinians; (2) Lebanon's civil war (1975-1990); and (3) the U.S.-Iraq conflict (1991-present). Offered in alternate years.
