Course context for academic year 2022-23

Within the Degree in International Relations, this subject provides specific training on the guiding principles of politics and international relations as they are conceived within the scope of Islam, as a religious and cultural world that conditions the politics of the southern and eastern Mediterranean basin.

Secondly, the keys to the main socio-historical events that have marked the international relations of this Mediterranean basin throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries are considered, events that have defined its reality in the last century, taking the Arab Berber Islamic Mediterranean world as the target of analysis. Finally, the Arab-Islamic world of the Mediterranean is reviewed in its relationship with international organisations.
