1 Middle Eastern Revolutions Political Science 450/Middle Eastern Studies 495 Meeting time: T, TH 9:30-10:45am 793 SWKT Instructor: Quinn Mecham Office: 770 SWKT, 203 HRCB Office Phone: address: Office hours: Monday, Wednesday 1pm-3pm (203 HRCB) Tuesday, Thursday 1pm-3pm (770 SWKT) Please me to set up an appointment during these office hours. Introduction: This course serves as an advanced research seminar (capstone) in both Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies. The course focuses on the study of revolutionary political moments in the modern history of the Middle East using broader theories of collective action and revolutionary mobilization. During the course students will construct social science explanations for successful and unsuccessful revolutions, using empirical evidence from a number of cases in the Middle East and North Africa. The course involves substantial focus on academic reading and writing and will culminate in a major research paper that addresses a social science puzzle of the student s interest. Discussion will center on the following core questions: What is a revolution? How do revolutions differ from one another? How do revolutions unfold over time? What are the principal causes of revolutions? What do the major revolutions of modern history have in common? When do revolutions succeed and when do they fail? Which are the most influential revolutions in the history of the Middle East? How did revolutions play a role in the independence of Middle Eastern countries? How do revolutionaries and regimes learn from each other and from history? How did the Arab Spring movements benefit from previous revolutionary acts? How do outside countries influence revolutionary trajectories? When do revolutions turn into civil wars or lead to state failure? How can we explain variations in outcome across countries that have experienced large-scale uprisings? 1
2 These questions will be addressed by examining multiple theories of revolution and by studying the revolutionary history of Middle Eastern cases in some detail. Case studies will focus on revolutionary moments in Turkey, Palestine, Egypt, Iran, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Tunisia, Syria, Yemen, and Bahrain, among others. Required texts: The following texts are available at the college bookstore and are on reserve at the library. 1) Crane Brinton The Anatomy of Revolution. Vintage. 2) Steven A. Cook The Struggle for Egypt: From Nasser to Tahrir Square. Oxford. 3) Alistair Horne A Savage War of Peace: Algeria New York Review of Books. 4) Rashid Khalidi The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood. Beacon. 5) Charles Kurzman The Unthinkable Revolution in Iran. Harvard. 6) Marc Lynch The Arab Uprising: The Unfinished Revolutions of the New Middle East. Public Affairs. 7) Marc Lynch The New Arab Wars: Uprisings and Anarchy in the Middle East. Public Affairs. 8) Stephen K. Sanderson Revolutions: A Worldwide Introduction to Political and Social Change, 2 nd edition. Paradigm. Additional readings for the course are available under Electronic Reserves in Learning Suite (content tab). Requirements: Regular attendance at class, active participation, and the reading of assigned materials is expected. Each student will take part in leading class discussions on the course readings. In addition, a theoretical essay, three formal responses to course readings, and a substantial final research paper are required. Grades will be calculated as follows: Revolution theory essay: 15% Formal responses to course readings (2 x 10%): 20% Revolution empirical essay 15% Course participation and discussion leadership: 15% Final paper: 35% (including detailed outline, complete draft, and oral presentation) 2
3 Revolution theory essay: A theoretical essay that addresses comparative theories of revolutions will be completed during the fourth week of class. This essay is limited to five double-spaced pages. It is due Tuesday January 30 at 5pm on Learning Suite. Revolution empirical essay: An essay that assesses the comparative experience of Middle Eastern revolutions, with reference to the theoretical causes of those revolutions, will be completed by the penultimate week of class. This essay is limited to five double-spaced pages. It is due Thursday April 12 prior to class on Learning Suite. Course reading responses: Each student will write a formal response to the course readings for two of the days on the syllabus. The schedule for reading responses will be determined between the student and the course instructor, and the two responses will be distributed throughout the semester, one in the first half and one in the second half. Responses should be between 3-4 double-spaced pages and rigorously assess the claims of at least one of our course readings on the day it is assigned. Each response should be focused around the student s own argument, offer an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the reading, and offer evidence from the selected reading to support the student s arguments. Each reading response will be due in hard copy the day that we complete discussion of that reading in class. A schedule of responses and their individual due dates will be completed for each member of the class within the first two weeks of the semester. Course participation and discussion leadership: Each member of class is expected to do all of the course readings (about 6-7 hours) each week and to actively participate in the course discussion. On two occasions (tied to a student s selected reading responses), each student will help facilitate course discussion by designing discussion questions on a portion of the reading and by co-leading the discussion in class. The portion of the readings for which you write discussion questions will be assigned in class. Submit five questions to the instructor to post on Learning Suite by either Monday or Wednesday at 1pm the day before your response paper is due. Final Paper: A final original research paper (25-30 double-spaced pages) is required. Participants will choose a topic of interest based on course readings and discussion, and in consultation with the instructor. The paper may be a case study of a key country, movement, concept, figure, or strategy in Middle Eastern revolutions, and it should make a social science argument that addresses a challenging theoretical or empirical puzzle. A detailed paper outline, an annotated bibliography, a complete rough draft, and an oral presentation on the paper topic are also required in advance of the final paper. For MESA students, the bibliography must also include at least three relevant Arabic language sources. The final paper is due on Learning Suite Thursday April 19 at 5pm. Late policy: All late papers will be assessed a three point late fee for each day that they are late. No late papers will be accepted after the end of university exams on April 25. 3
