Comment
This course explores the evolving landscape of conflict and security in the Middle East, analyzing the historical roots, contemporary challenges, and future trajectories of regional stability. It examines key conflicts, including the Arab-Israeli dispute, the Iran-Saudi rivalry, the Syrian and Yemeni civil wars, and the role of non-state actors such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and ISIS. The course also assesses the influence of global powers—including the United States, Russia, and China—on Middle Eastern security, alongside the shifting alliances and emerging regional security frameworks.Key themes include the impact of sectarianism, proxy wars, energy geopolitics, and arms proliferation, as well as cybersecurity, drone warfare, and artificial intelligence in modern conflicts. The course integrates qualitative and quantitative methodologies to provide a comprehensive understanding of how security threats in the Middle East have transformed over time and how regional and international actors shape the strategic environment. Students will engage in critical discussions, case studies, and policy analysis to assess the challenges and opportunities for achieving long-term peace and stability in the region.
