Learning outcomes
The Middle East has always been in the headlines throughout the modern history. This course will help you understand why. Chronologically, the course starts with the Napoleonic invasion of Egypt (1798-1801) and continues into the present times. During the semester, we will discuss the Ottoman modernization, the intervention of colonial powers in the Middle East, the coming of the First World War, the end of the Ottoman empire and the simultaneous foundation of the Turkish Republic and the rise of Arab nationalism on the former Ottoman lands, the establishment of dictatorial/authoritarian regimes across the region, oil and its politics, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the question of Palestine, the Iranian Revolution, the Arab Spring, ISIS, and many other major and minor issues which have been globally influential. All lectures will deal in varying degrees with Islam, Muslims, and their cultures.
