| Syllabus: | This unit will focus on the emergence and development of modern nation states in the Middle East, South and Central Asia (India, Pakistan and Afghanistan) since the end of World War One in 1918. A major theme is the role that religion, especially Islam, has played in state politics and in wars and other regional crises. Understanding these historical developments will enable students to appreciate more fully the many challenges facing South and West Asia today, among them international terrorism. The historical roots of war and terrorism in these regions have particular relevance for Australia with its strategic approaches to crisis in the Middle East and Afghanistan. |
