This module will introduce to students the broader historical outlines of the emergence of the modern Middle East. After providing a discussion of the Ottoman background, the module will largely focus on the post-WWI period, tracing political, socio-economic, and cultural developments that have intimately shaped the history of the region. Students will be introduced to major themes in the history of the region, such as colonialism, decolonization, nationalism, authoritarianism, and socialism, and study key episodes such as the system of mandates, the Arab Cold War, the politics of oil, and the Arab Spring, in understanding the histories of modern Middle East.
