Course Objectives
Course Content
The aim of this course is to analyze the intersection of the Middle East with the processes of the globalization. The course will cover how the region is affected by the economic, political and cultural aspects of globalization as well as its own role to play in this process. By placing the region’s experience of globalization into a wider perspective and looking at globalization as a dialectical process in which the Middle East plays an active role as well as being affected by it, the course will complement the theoretical debates with case studies.
