Course Description:
Consolidating underlying concepts of sustainable development, citizenship and human rights, and applied professional geography, this module surveys the geopolitics of the MENA – Middle East and North Africa region linked to the geostrategic Mediterranean Sea which lies at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. The region is rich in human and natural resources including oil, gas, fish, agriculture and tourist-related activities. This region has bequeathed an enduring cultural legacy to the world, including the Judaeo-Christian traditions and Islamic civilisation. It encompasses some of the richest and poorest states in the world, and major conflict shatter-belt zones due to economic, political and geopolitical forces. Competition and conflict have debilitated development there, having major impacts on neighbouring regions including Europe, and globally.
