POLITICAL SCIENCE 285 - International Politics of the Middle East

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

This course examines international politics in the Middle East in the late colonial and post-colonial periods, focusing on the relationships between states, societies, and markets. Placing particular emphasis on the many ways in which the "high politics" of states shape the lived experiences of different communities in the region, it works within existing theoretical frameworks in International Relations that envision politics as influenced by shifting constellations of interests, ideas, and institutions. Case studies will vary, but are likely to include the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, post-Revolutionary Iran, and contemporary politics in Lebanon and Iraq.
