MES 4.01 Energy and Society in the Middle East and North Africa
This course focuses on the economic, political, social and cultural consequences of rapid development in the hydrocarbon states of the Middle East and North Africa: states whose development is highly dependent on access to the global economy for income from oil. The course aims to provide students with an understanding—from both a Social Science and a Humanities perspective—of how hydrocarbon-led development has dramatically changed the economic, political, and cultural life of what were previously tribal societies.
