2009 Course Handbook
POL369: Europe and Islam
The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to the complex interactions of European and Islamic civilization from the time of the Prophet right up until present day. With the end of the Cold War, some observers have claimed that Islam and, more particularly 'Islamic fundamentalism', is the new 'enemy' of Western Civilization. The course will examine the origins and substance of this claim by drawing not only on the history and politics of the encounter between Islam and Europe, but on literature, art and film as well.
