The realm's cultures and ethnicities are studied in a geographic context, with an emphasis on the origin, dispersal, spatial organization, and interaction of important cultural groups. Among issues examined are the distribution and strategic significance of critical mineral and energy resources, population and resource disparities, cultural conflict, and economic development. Students will learn how geographic issues impact the prospects for peace and stability in the region.
