Section Information for Fall 2017

The Middle East and North Africa is an economically diverse region, but overall, its performance lags behind its potential. Today it faces high unemployment rates, particularly among youth and women; human development deficits; and social and regional imbalances, which contributed to the uprisings known as the Arab Spring. Other challenges come from global warming and environmental pressures.

This seminar will survey and compare the nature and outcome of economic models and development strategies adopted in the region since the end of World War II, with a focus on recent adjustments and reforms triggered by globalization.
