Teaching – autumn semester of 2020
Due to the announcement from the Swedish Government issued May 29th, that returning to campus-based education is possible from June 15th, the following applies to teaching at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology during the autumn semester:
- Due to the ongoing corona (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions that have been issued, the courses taught this autumn will have a limited number of meetings on campus, depending on the availability of suitable lecture rooms. The major part of the teaching will take place online. Detailed information on what is the case for your course will be given below.
- If the teaching is campus-based, there will be assigned entry and exit passages for each teaching room regarding stairwells, corridors and entrances (doorways). Please be considerate and follow the instructions to the point. Hand disinfectant will be available in all lecture halls and group rooms.
Please pay attention to the start time of your teaching. The stated time in your course schedule is valid.
The course deals with the establishment and consolidation of the Middle Eastern states in relation to regional security issues and conflict management. The perceptions of security in the various states are analysed. The course also discusses the role and politics of the states, both in the Middle East and in the global arena. A number of case studies concerning security and threats are examined: ethnicity, religion, access and control of water and oil resources. Further areas of enquiry concern the Iraq crisis, conflicts in the area surrounding the Persian Gulf and the Israel-Palestine conflict.
