DESCRIPTION
This course constitutes an introduction to the key issues in Middle East politics nowadays. It deals mainly with the Machreq states and numerous local non-state actors, including refugees and migrants. I will start the course with a general lecture introducing Middle Eastern politics through its key historical moments in the XXth century that brought up the modern nation-state system from the remains of the Ottoman Empire and authoritarian regimes once states became independent. I will also shed a light on the current interregnum period faced by the entire region in the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and new local alliances.
