This Course is an advanced seminar about the international politics of Middle East. It provides a broad survey of scholarly work on international conflict, the foreign policies of the Middle Eastern states, Arab-Israeli conflict, US involvement in the region, transnational Islamist movements, and the politics of oil. Throughout the seminar, we will address topics discussed by international relations and comparative politics scholars to better understand the politics of Middle East in international context. We will start with the state and society in the region and continue with the sources, manifestations, and political consequences of conflict. We will examine how religion, oil, and water lead to international conflict and how the resulting conflict shapes the political regimes. Then we will focus on the US involvement in the region followed by the study of the foreign policies of Middle Eastern states. Finally, we will also focus on transnational Islamist movements and jihad.
