Description for POLSCI377:
This is an intensive course exploring different aspects of revolutionary protests that have rocked and transformed various countries in the Middle East and North Africa since late 2010. The course begins by providing an overview of the region, and its apparent stability in the decades following the establishment of pro-Western dictatorships in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, and other countries. It then moves to provide some possible explanations as what sparked the Arab Uprisings, where did the demands for democracy and human rights come from, and how meaningful and appropriate is the term Arab Spring commonly used to identify the phenomenon. Within the context of the course, the lectures provide, furthermore, an overview of conservative Arab states — Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain — that have weathered the turmoil so far; and the last Ba’athist regime that is struggling to survive a bloody civil war in Syria.
