Section 001 – War and Society in the Modern Middle East.
This course covers the history of warfare in the region not simply
as military history but as an investigation of the role of war
in local politics, in colonialism and anti-colonial movements, in Great Power rivalry, in state formation, and in global competition
for resources. Attention will be paid to the colonial wars of the 19th century, of Britain, France, and Russia, and to the wars
fought by the Ottoman state. In the Twentieth Century attention
will be given to the impact on the region of the two world wars, of wars of independence, of the Arab-Israeli wars, and the Gulf
wars. The course will also show a concern with the impact of wars
on the lives of ordinary people, and on the economies and demography
of the region. This course consists of two 1- 1/2 hour lectures
per week and entails a midterm, a final, and short term paper.
The readings average 150 pages per week. For further information
