What was the central theme for this course? Why?

1. The central focus of the course this year has been the arab springs movement. This is because it is the most volatile world issue at the time. This year we have looked at the arab isralie conflict, libya, syria, turkey, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and basicly every other arab country. The issues within these countires have a global impact which is why it has been the centrel theme of our course and the centrel topic published throught the media.
