This course will explore the events that led to the Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, and Syria, and also ask the question of why the monarchies (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Kuwait) escaped the turmoil. The course will also look at the rise of Political Islam and how the Muslim Brotherhood gained and then lost political power. Finally, we will investigate the origins of ISIS in Iraq and Syria and try to understand the objectives of ISIS, Al Qaeda, and El Shabab in their struggle for control of radical Islam.
