International Relations 334 - Globalizatn & the Muslim World

'This course challenges students to explore and understand the Muslim world in a new era characterized by globalization, and to examine its various effects on the Islamic world. Though politics of the Muslim world has been largely studied with exclusive reference to states, the course encourages students to look beyond this statist paradigm to salient non-state actors. It provides a conceptual and theoretical framework helpful in examining various cases and issues pertaining to the process of globalization and the Muslim world, such as: transnational Islamic movements and networks, Muslims in global business or living as minorities, Islamic legal and moral doctrines, gender and human rights.'
