Description
The course surveys the political and socio-economic history of the middle East between 1914 (with a brief backward excursion to events in Iran 1892-1914) and the present, a long and turbulent period of nearly a century. An important objective is to try to demystify the region, and to provide as objective as possible an interpretation and analysis of the events of the past nine decades.
