The course deals with an aspect of the Arab cultural studies, which seeks to examine various viewpoints on globalisation within Arab intellectual discourse and conflicts arising thereof. The cultural ‘protectionism’ agenda of the traditionalists against the modernists’ campaign of liberalism will form the basis of this study. Various parts of the Arabic speaking countries and how globalisation has influenced their ways of life will be looked at.
