【Course Objectives】

Recent unrest in the Middle East region, such as Syria and Afghanistan, has been posing a lot of challenges to the world. These challenges are not limited to political or military issues in a macro perspective, but also include how the world is able to support the people of the region in a micro perspective. For instance, the world needs to seek for the better supporting mechanism to respond massive scale of displacement of refugees. However, knowledge and understanding on the Middle East is not always sufficient. This is simply because that quantity of information about the Middle East is low in Japan, and also because of unfamiliarity to social norms based on "Islam" in the region for Japanese people. This course aims to give the basic picture of the Middle East region and also to give knowledge on international aid and assistance for refugees. In addition, this course gives a focus on practical challenges when aid workers support the people with different culture and norms.

【Course Contents】

The roots of recent unrest in the Middle East can be found in the history. In particular, by examining the history before and after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, we will clarify the challenges of the Middle East at present. In addition, we will clarify the thresholds to conduct development assistant based on Western concept of values in the Middle East where Islam is the foundation of society. We will look into the past and current situation of Afghanistan and Syria as examples to have deeper understanding how international society took actions for these countries. .We will also discuss assistance for refugees, as it is a major challenge the world is now facing.
