ID 284 - Environment and Development in the Middle East and North Africa

From Afghanistan to Morocco, farmers, herders and city dwellers have modified their environment in an effort to develop the region’s resources. While many of these changes have been destructive, others have produced sustainable agricultural systems. Today population growth, infrequent zones of high agricultural potential, the constraints imposed by aridity and limited mineral resources (except for oil) restrict development opportunities. The successes and failures that have followed from the efforts of Middle Eastern governments and societies to cope with these limitations and to control desertification, overgrazing, salinization, deforestation and urban blight constitute the focus of this course. Any geography nature-society core course (e.g., GEOG 105 , GEOG 184 ) or a course in international development.
