This course explores the modern history of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) since the First World War in a seminar format, with particular attention to the region’s complex relationship with international institutions and geopolitics. Often credited as a cradle of civilisation, the MENA region sits at a geopolitical crossroads that has been critical to the evolution of the modern world, including decolonisation, Western intervention, the development of international institutions, cheap energy reserves, and contestations between various secular and religious identities. The region’s modern history illuminates key moments in the development of the international system itself.
