| Inhalt | The course is focused to provide an overview of the security dynamics and the transformative landscape of the contemporary (geo)political situation in the region of the Middle East. This region is considered as geographically strategic, peace promising and security vulnerable in relation to the intersection of the issues connected with global politics, world economics and socio-cultural affairs. Within several decades the region experienced a myriad of significant security challenges which influenced not only regional dimensions but also brought about critical changes, especially in light of the role played by the emergence of new actors, technologies and clash of interests of global powers. They impact the scenery of global developments and the domains of local, regional, international security exemplified by some major political events and their complexity. The course concludes with a focus on the impact of the pandemic on the security politics in the region and its possible implications for the future. Taking into account fields of political science and the Middle East, the course combines a multi-dimensional approach to the interconnected discourses on security. |
