DESCRIPTION
The course is an approach to the reality of the Arab world, a human space very diversified that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Persian Gulf with about 450 million inhabitants, often distorted by topics and prejudices. The approach is carried out in three directions: politics, new social actors and the Arab world relationship with the western world. Special emphasis is placed on the role played by young people, on the situation of women and on the permanent tension between tradition and modernity. Finally, the objective is to establish what image the Arab world projects towards the outside and what perception has the West of the Arab world.
