DESCRIPTION

This Course consists of an Introduction to the historical and political reality of the Arab-Islamic World, while underlining the importance of international relations with regard to its historical evolution. The aim of the Course is to provide students with an understanding of the processes which have determined the recent history of these countries and which have lead them to their present-day situation, while also enabling students to acquire a critical perspective by which this same scenario may be calibrated.

Specific attention will be paid to those countries wherein the conflicts affecting them have acquired significant transcendence in international terms. From amongst the group of Moslem, non-Arab countries, it is Iran that will be focused upon. Likewise, within this Course, in transversal terms, the ethnic, social and religious diversity that characterizes the Arab-Islamic world will be broached, together with gender-related issues.
