詳細情報■授業のテーマ
The course aims at tracing the evolution in relations between two contiguous regions: Europe and theMiddle East and North Africa (MENA) in the last hundred years. At the end of the First World War, twoEuropean powers (France and Britain) dominated the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) transforming
the region into a system of separate states and facilitating the establishment of the State of Israel,
before retreating in the face of nationalist movements, USA rising inﬂuence and superpowers rivalry andclientelism. With the end of the Cold War, in the 1990s and 2000s, the United States emerged as thehegemonic power in the region, while the newly created European Union (EU) turned old imperialist
relationships into commercial ones. Geographic proximity, economic interdependence and migration
ﬂows compelled the EU to launch a series of initiatives designed to address new transnational security
concerns through the deployment of ʻsoft powerʼ, brieﬂy challenging USA ʻhard powerʼ approach toward
the regionʼs developments. EU member states devised a common foreign and security policy toward
their neighbours in the South and East of the Mediterranean, including a coordinated position in theIsraeli-Palestinian conﬂict, but such eﬀorts fell short of turning the EU into a uniﬁed actor with decisive
regional inﬂuence. When in 2011 popular uprisings erupted across the Arab world, the EU was itself inthe midst of an economic crisis that forced a rethink in European policies toward the region and areassertion of bilateralism. (continued to the goal)■授業の到達⽬標
After a historical background, the course will concentrate on the post-Cold War period outlining EU
regional initiatives, the role of the European Union in the quest for a resolution of the Arab-Israeli
conﬂict; the European impasse with respect to the 2003 USA invasion of Iraq and, ﬁnally, Europeʼs rolein the genesis of the so-called Arab Spring and ensuing conﬂicts.
The ﬁnal exam will be based on the lectures and the readings, in the form of an oral examination.
Students will obtain introductory knowledge about:- The history of European-Middle Eastern relations in the last hundred years- Main European Union policies towards the MENA region- Literature debate on the nature and eﬃcacy of European foreign policy■授業の概要と計画
