Teaching Practices of Middle East Politics: Potentials and Challenges
LSE BLOG
In this piece, Guy Burton looks at ‘area studies’: the teaching and study of Middle East politics, which is distinct from teaching the study of political science in the Middle East more generally.
He reflects on his own experience of teaching Middle East politics, as well as looking at what others have said on the subject by reviewing some of the scholarly literature. Because this piece is based on English-language sources, with its origins in US universities, some of the observations may be less relevant to a local audience.
