1 WAR AND PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AP/POLS A/AP/MIST3260.6, Fall double intensity 2014 Department of Political Science, Department of Equity Studies, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies, York University Professor Saeed Rahnema, Course Schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30-2:30 Class Room: ACW 306 Office Hours: Atkinson 402, Tues and Thurs 2:30-3:00 pm. (TAs office hours TBA) TAs: Vojislav Roja Ghahari, This course provides the background to the most important factors and processes affecting conflicts, wars, and peace in the Middle East. Numerous wars and continuing conflicts in the region cannot be understood without the basic knowledge of the historical interplay of diverse factors including foreign powers involvement in the processes of state formation in the region, ethnic, religious, and ideological diversity, nationalism, resource scarcity, economic development, politics of oil, politics of water, arms sale, gender politics, and authoritarianism. These topics form the first part of the course, and will set the stage for the study of the different wars in the Middle East. While the primary focus of the second part of the course will be on the Arab-Israel wars and conflicts, the course will also cover revolutions and wars in other parts of the region, including Iranian revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, the Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the US-led coalitions against Iraq. Canada s Middle East policy will also be discussed. Materials in the course are chosen from diverse sources reflecting the heterogeneity of views, methods and modes of analysis. The required readings (marked by * in the syllabus are from selected chapters of the text, W. L. Cleveland, A History of the Modern Middle East, 5 th edition, 2013, and those marked by ** are from selected journals and other sources. Both categories are available electronically and can be accessed using the library s e-resources. Each session will begin with a review of current events in the Middle East. Students are expected to follow the news and participate in the discussions. Course Requirements The course consists of lectures and discussions of students synopses. The lectures supplement the readings, and there will be no separate tutorials. Students are expected to do the required readings and actively participate in the class discussions. Each student will be required to select a topic and write a short synopsis (5 pages double-spaced) based on two readings, and pose two essay-type questions to be discussed in the session dealing with that topic. Students are also required to write two exams, one in the middle of the term and one at the end of the term (2 hours each). Finally, there will be a term paper (about pages double-spaced) on one of the course topics approved by the TA. Please refer to the guidelines at the end of this course outline. Grading: Class participation, 10% Presentation or Synopsis, 15% Mid-term exam, 20% End of term exam, 30% Paper 25% 1
