Content
The ongoing struggle in the Middle East and North Africa for democracy and human rights is a significant focus of international relations scholarship and policy. This unit focuses on the tension between global and bilateral efforts to shape the region for the benefit of its inhabitants versus the benefit of the international order and other interests. Students will gain an understanding of how foreign policy is formulated in and about the region, the different forces at play on governments and individuals when pursuing emancipation, and the politics of humanitarian intervention. No prior study of the Middle East is required.
