1 CIEE in Rabat, Morocco Course name: The Arab Spring and Birth of the Arab Citizen Course number: POLI 3003 MORC Programs offering course: Rabat Language and Culture Language of instruction: English U.S. Semester Credits: 3 credits Contact Hours: 45 hours Term: Spring 2019 Course meeting place: Rabat Study Center Office hours: Upon Request Course Description Some political and social scientists hold the assumptions according to which the Middle East and North Africa are an exception in their resistance to global democratization changes. Their explanation hinges on the presupposition that Arab people would accept authoritarianism in return for political stability, economic growth, and social well-being. The Arab Spring has come to refute this long-held assumption that there was in Arab countries actually nothing inherently adverse to democratization. This course principally tackles this and other non scientific conclusions. Besides, it considers the emerging citizenship in the context of the Arab Spring as promises of democratization under the recent social and political changes which affected the MENA region. In this regard, the course will, on the one hand, explore the reasons and the conditions of the upheavals in the Arab World and, on other hand, will starve to explain the possibility of the Birth of an Arab Citizen free from any political submission. Also, it will analyze the new status and role of Islam as a political and social driving force. Course Objectives The course has an interdisciplinary, integrative, and critical focus. Its main objectives are to: Introduce students to a variety of institutions, individuals and viewpoints on the Arab Spring; Explore contemporary issues related to the political changes in the MENA region and examine the effects of uprisings on Arab cultures and the emergence of civil society; Enable students to gain factual insightful information and a theoretical framework regarding the Arab Spring and democratization in the MENA region; Position the transformations in the MENA region within the democracy promotion framework and analyze how these transformations can bridge the gap inside, between Arab countries and with the West.
2 Learning outcomes for the course By completion of this course, students will be able to: Identify the similarities or lack thereof between the different protests movements and relate these diverse forms to democratic claims; Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the transition from authoritarian legacy in the MENA region and the relationship between this legacy and the different political protest movements; Recognize the causes and forms of stability and resistance to the dissemination of democracy; Formulate an informed, culturally appropriate, and intellectually rigorous independent reflection paper grounded on course readings, lectures, and discussions. Show informed opinions regarding protests, revolutions and democratic change; Participate in well-documented written or spoken presentations on the Arab Spring; Build upon the present period across the MENA while pulling out comparative wisdom on previous historical moments. Course Requirements Students are responsible for the timely reading and preparation of materials assigned for each session. In addition to readings and assignments, attendance and active participation during lectures is required. The success of the course depends upon the creation of a community of active readers, listeners and thinkers. You will rely on each other for lively discussion, respectful dissension, and conscientious, critical analysis of the readings. Assistance will be given to students to clarify confusions and misunderstandings, but no lecture overview of the readings will be provided by the Professor. Each week, a student or set of students will lead the discussion on the readings. However, because students are all doing the readings for each class, anyone could be arbitrarily picked to answer any question at any time. Each student is required to submit a page or so of thoughts on the readings prior to each class. These readings should be ed to the professor by 5:00pm the day before class, and will be used by the leaders of the discussion for that day as organizing material. These statements can be summaries of the readings with added commentary, an application of the readings to a novel/different situation /context, a contrasting of the readings with one another or with other literature, or basically anything that is reasonably smart and shows that the readings have been done. 30% of the final grade will be based on these weekly response papers, as well as the discussion that you lead during the semester.
3 Final Paper The paper can discuss particular questions within the broad themes covered in class. It should conform to academic standards of proper citation, elaborate research questions, and relevant bibliography. The research paper should be at least 3500 words on a topic approved by the instructor. The research paper will constitute 30% of the semester grade for this course. Prior to the meeting students should submit a proposed topic described in approximately 100 words and an indication of the sources available. Papers that are less than 3500 words will be penalized 10 points. Papers that are late will be penalized 10 points for each day that they are turned in after the announced deadline.
