Description: The Middle East and North Africa remains in a state of transition more than a decade after the Arab uprisings of 2011 with important implications for human rights, women’s rights, domestic and regional economies, and international relations. This course offers a survey of critical political, social, and economic topics in the Middle East and North Africa region with a particular focus on the impact of foreign aid, conflict and displacement, social movements and changes to women’s rights, international and regional security, and authoritarian retrenchment. Over the semester, students will gain an understanding of the intersecting drivers of change in the region and the ability to put them into historical and comparative context. The course also will equip students with the skills to analyze cross-cutting conceptual developments and to identify nuance and variation in their public policy applicability across the region.
