Government 341 - SEM:INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

Topics course. This course considers the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) through an international relations lens, exploring how the region broadly interacts with the rest of the world. The aim is to introduce students to the diversity of challenges facing the region and give students the tools for a more substantive analysis of its ever-changing context. The class is divided into two sections: the first section represents a general overview of the most salient issues in the region including the Arab-Israeli conflict, while the second section incorporates case-study explorations of specific topics ranging from U.S. foreign policy in the MENA to the Arab Spring.

Topic: The Middle East in World Affairs. Instructor Permission. Not open to first-years, sophomores
