ECON647 POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE MIDDLE EAST
This is a graduate level course on the political economy of the contemporary Middle East. It should be noted that Middle east is here broadly defined to include also North Africa. First, the nineteenth and twentieth-century historical experiences of various Middle Eastern countries will be surveyed without losing track of the elements that have constituted this geography to some extent as a region with a common denominator. The encounter with modernity of various empires in the course of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century will be taken as a point of departure. The formation of nation-states and national economies in two successive phases, firstly as a response to the challenge of the Great Depression, and secondly as a consequence of the national liberation movements of the post World War II will be studied. In order to assess the legacy of state formation and economic transformation, the tools of political economy and development economics will be jointly deployed. Finally, the future prospects of the Middle East within the context of a new world order will be assessed.
