Goals
|
This course aims to examine the Middle East countries, which are associated with many concepts such as oil, conflict, terrorism, and anti-democratic rule with their historical backgrounds, political systems, internal dynamics, underground resources, and relations with the West.
|
|
Content
|
The course initially focuses on the history and basic principles of democracy, as well as on the concept of the Middle East. In addition, while examining separately Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen, which are within the scope of the Middle East, it touches on the extent to which these countries are connected with democracy and analyzes why democracy is (or is not) preferred for the Middle East geography.
