INTS 245 US Foreign Policy in the Middle East

This course examines the long and complex history of United States involvement in the Middle East, from the Cold War to the War on Terror, and from the Arab Spring to today’s unfolding developments. Through a nuanced study of U.S. foreign policy, students explore the motivations, strategies, and consequences of U.S. actions in the region. They develop critical skills to connect historical events with contemporary analysis, gaining a deep understanding of how power, politics, and ideology shape U.S. policy, and how those decisions reverberate across the Middle East and the world.
