This course will survey the recent efforts of the
countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to adapt to the
global economy. We will compare their respective strategies of
economic and political development and discuss the possible
interrelationships between economic and political change. Everyone
will be expected to develop solid knowledge of the economies and
policies of at least three countries, including one of the major
economies of the Arab region (Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia,
Syria, and Tunisia).
