Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces)
Mediterranean Worlds

Current Course Description:
This course will analyze the 18th century reforms, the French occupation (1807 - 1813), and the turbulent interrelationship between liberalism and conservatism characterizing much of the 19th century. In the 20th century the course will concentrate on the loss of the empires, the development of positivism, nationalism, socialism, and anarchism. The nature of the Portuguese and Spanish Republics, the origins of the Spanish Civil War, the Franco and Salazar dictatorships and the transition to democracy in the 1970s will be some of the issues addressed.

New Course Description:
This course will examine the history of the Mediterranean in the 20th century with an emphasis on the decline of empires and the rise of nation-states in the region. The Mediterranean represents the meeting point of three continents (Africa, Asia, and Europe) and of the religions, cultures, and countries of each of these continents. We will examine the notion of strict boundaries among societies and try to understand the Mediterranean World as a dynamic, historical construct whose borders were continually traversed and refashioned.
