POLI 167 JT - Arab Politics after Uprisings

Why did authoritarianism prevail in the Arab world after the popular uprisings of the 2010s? This course will introduce the political economies, elites, ideas, and military-state relations that shaped monarchies and one-party states in the 20th century, exploring how people mobilized for their rights and interests in different systems. It will then analyze how conflict, migration, uprisings, and external alliances reshaped Arab political orders in the early 21st century, and continue to do so.
