HIST 382 - The U.S., Neoconservatism, and the Middle East

This class centers on postwar (1945-) relations between the U.S. and the Middle East and examines the causes and consequences of some of their troubled encounters. It surveys U.S. ties to regional dictatorships, the geopolitics of oil, and the alliance with Israel, as well as exploring the role of neoconservative intellectuals in recent U.S. policies including the 2003 Iraq war and the “global war on terror.”
