Scope
The course examines Middle Eastern and African landscapes to include expressions of their dominant physical and cultural forms. The variety of Middle Eastern and African peoples are studied in a geographic context--tracing their origins, dispersals, spatial organization, the intrusion of alien cultures and the diversity of human use and resource exploitation of the land. Among issues examined are the distribution and strategic significance of critical mineral and energy resources, population and food disparities, nation-building programs and prospects, and regional development plans. The course concludes with study of the changing internal geographic patterns, extraregional spatial relationships, and geostrategic implications of East-West competition in these unstable regional environments.
