About the course 'Case Study: Syria'

Contemporary conflicts in the Middle East, many of which emerged from the fallout of the Arab Spring, have for years raised a complex set of security problems both in the region and more widely. These irregular conflicts include many examples of intentional (security) threats, and have significant security implications at a national, regional and international level. This course will provide an introduction into the study of contemporary conflict in the Middle East, exploring conflict dynamics and security implications. Students will examine and discuss how conflicts can develop into internationalised civil wars, generating security debates around terrorism, migration, gender, war crimes and international law, among others. Students will do so by focusing on the Syrian civil war as a case study. Read more
