This course focuses on contemporary international relations of the Middle East. The course covers issues surrounding regional wars, ethnic and religious conflicts, refugees, humanitarian issues, trade, and oil production, among other issues related to the international politics of the region. In each one of these cases, we will try to understand how international relations in and outside of the region shape these conflicts and provide further fuel or opportunities for various regional and global actors invested in the region. In this course, we will try to understand and make sense of how the international relations of the region impact the core issues that shape the region.
