The Arab Spring
Get a handle on the historical, geographical, and political context necessary to discern the key trends and developments unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa this year, popularly referred to as the Arab Spring.
This class will focus on the uprisings in Libya, Syria, Yemen, and especially Egypt—the Arab world’s most populous country and a key bellwether for the outcome of revolutions elsewhere in the region.
How could something like this happen? What were its true motivating causes? Get up to date on the current changes and understand where this is likely to lead.
Christa Case Bryant is currently Middle East editor at The Christian Science Monitor. Her extensive travel and reporting from different parts of the world supplements her degree in global perspectives from Principia College.
