GS 327 - Politics of the Middle East
In this class we will examine the relationship between power, knowledge, and authority, centered on the post-9/11 Middle East (broadly defined). Typically, when we think of power and authority we think of hard power (military force, for example), but in this course we will also examine the impacts and violence of “soft power” in relation to the region. Throughout, we will be asking ourselves who gets to be an authority on “the Middle East,” and we will examine issues around identity, sovereignty, imperialism, and territory in a post-9/11 world.
