Wars in the Greater Middle East seem an almost natural state of affairs. While especially the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has received much attention, the aspects of several other wars that ravaged the region since 1945 are seldom studied in context of the Cold War and development in military affairs. Yet, the Iraq-Iran War (1980-88) and the Russian war in Afghanistan (1979-1989) have foreshadowed many developments and peculiarities of armed conflicts in the 21st century. This course aims to contextualise the Arab-Israeli Wars during the Cold War to neighbouring ones in the Greater Middle East. The focus will be the military operations – the political and social implications cannot be covered. Another emphasis will be placed on the development of asymmetrical and hybrid threats in the region after the Cold War. Two summary lectures by Prof Michael Wolffsohn will be held in German (the first on 19 October at 1600), the class is in English. Active participation and a brief presentation are required.
