Course number and title: GLA2098H Topics in Global Policy III: Navigating a "New Middle East" Intensive Course

Course Description: 

Where do we go from here? How do we navigate a New Middle East, which seemed poised for a more peaceful future and now seems hopeless for all sides? This course will address how policy-makers and the private sector respond to such game-changing shocks. Is a peaceful “new Middle East” still possible? What are the implications for enduring conflicts, for global issues, and transformation? The Arab Gulf states seem to be at the centre of a “new geography” of the Middle East. This development will form a substantial part of the class.

The course will examine these issues, through guest presentations. It will reflect a practioner’s perspective. How do we assess important changes for senior policy makers, make sense of the implications and opportunities, arrive at practical policy recommendations? Students will work on policy documents designed to help senior policy makers navigate the changing contours of a new Middle East and what it means for governments, their citizens, and other stakeholders
