1 SEMESTER AT SEA COURSE SYLLABUS Voyage: Summer 2013 Discipline: Political Science PLCP 3410: Politics of Middle East and North Africa Division: Upper Faculty Name: Scott Hibbard Pre-requisites: None. Introduction to Comparative Politics or Introduction to International Relations recommended. COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will provide an introduction to the field of Comparative Politics and the Middle East. It will begin with a brief overview of the historical evolution of the region, and of such basic concepts as states, nations, state-formation, authoritarianism and democracy. The course will then examine these ideas in the context of the modern Middle East. Particular attention will be given to the persistence of authoritarianism, the role of religion in public life, and the events associated with the so-called "Arab Spring." The classes will alternate between broad thematic issues, and a review of particular case studies. Many of the cases that we will examine in the course are countries that will be visited during the Summer program. The course will conclude with an analysis of the regional politics, U.S. foreign policy in the region and the Iraq war and its legacy. COURSE OBJECTIVES To develop a working knowledge of the politics and social trends which inform the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (the so-called MENA region, as well as the international dynamics that shape the region. A second key objective is to understand the issues and conflicts of the region from diverse perspectives.
