This course explores Syria’s internal dynamic from faith and ethnic relations, the evolution of its political system, and its relations within the region since 1946. Syria sits at the heart of the Near East, where generations of Muslim, Christian and Jewish families thrived, and at many times, survived turbulent and oppressive circumstances. This course will touch on that history, as well as causes and consequences of Syria’s civil war and the political and socio-economic challenges that lie ahead.
