Course Description
This course will discuss the emergence of the modern Middle East from the 19th
century to the end of the First World War. It will discuss the Ottoman legacy
in the region, the rise of nationalism in the Middle East and the Western
imperial impact on the creation of the Arab state system. The course will also
discuss issues such as Islamic reform, religion and state and state cohesion,
all of which are key to understanding the Middle East of today.
