Various materials and theoretical frameworks will be used and examined in the relation between minority groups and the state. In this context, this course will map the possible existing minorities in the mentioned region along with their relationship with the majority of the population, each in its specific context. This course will also focus on the relation or politicization or discrimination of minority groups with the republican authoritarian states such as Syria and Egypt; theocratic republics such as Iran; monarchies such as Saudi Arabia; semi-democratic such as Lebanon and in democratic context such as Israel.
