Annotation

The interdisciplinary Master's degree programme "Politics and Economics of the Near and Middle East" represents a unique combination of political and economic sciences for the Near and Middle East region in Germany. Following a subject-related relevant Bachelor's degree programme, the Master's degree programme deepens regional and language skills (Arabic and Persian) and research-oriented topics at the interfaces between politics and business are developed and discussed. Students should be interested in analysing the socio-political conflicts in the Near and Middle East from an interdisciplinary perspective and in pursuing their own political-economic issues. Students who already have knowledge of economics will first attend political science modules and vice versa. The Master's degree programme focuses on content in which business and politics are intertwined. Examples include resource conflicts, the distribution of oil revenues, the links between prosperity and development, the political effects of investments, Islamist economic policy, clientelism, etc. The individual subject-specific aptitude is determined by an aptitude assessment procedure
