muslim world
Prof Afsah is a great teacher; never underestimating his students but also not expecting background knowledge that you may lack, and driving home some points about institutional development and historical developments in the Muslim world that have really changed my perspective.
This course is very important at the moment because of all the things happening in the Muslim world with Syria, IS, Nigeria and the in Turkey.
Really excellent course that has opened my eyes to the Muslim world in a way I couldn't have imagined.
This is enlightening not only to Muslim worldview, but is relevant to every worldview that in process to harmonize the rationality and reality for better living.
Lectures are long but provide very useful information for all that want to know more about the Muslim world.
Amazing course with comprehensive lectures and balanced approach on historical and contemporary aspects that define the socio-political developments taking place in the Muslim world.
It includes social, cultural, political and historial explanations of the Muslim World and above it all, it is very clear and straightforward.
It focuses on what really matters and not only trying to understand the Muslim World only through religion or international relations.
Dr. Afsah's treatment of the complex and vastly different types of challenges faced by the Muslim world in the face of modernisation is beyond reproach.
It has been an enlightening course that gives us a much more deeper insight into the Muslim World issues.
An excellent introduction to the social realities and politics of the Muslim World for inquisitive learners, not only for law students.
Hope to understand international conflicts concerning Muslim Very analytical approach.General overview of the muslim world.
Provides an impressively in-depth look at such a complex and diverse set of political, economic and historical matters throughout the Muslim world.
I particularly like the way the instructor challenges the well-established narratives about the region and gives us the empirical/historical facts behind the real causes that shaped the Muslim world as we know it!

It was VERY interesting, and really provides a good oversight of the muslim countries.
It gives extensive insight in the political, cultural, historical and institutional backgrond of contemporary muslim countries.
I learned a huge amount about how the Muslim countries became what they are now.
A very good instructor with a balanced approach in an overview in most aspects of Muslim countries.
I felt this course was fantastic - and it is my opinion that the course should be a requirement for all members of the US Senate and House of Representatives - as they might make less dumb decisions when pedalling democracy in Muslim countries.
Excellent professor and very interesting topic for whoever is curious to learn about these Muslim Countries!
The professor is extremely knowledgable, and I learned many useful things for understanding the behavior of the government of Muslim countries, and on the origins of why their law is different from Western law.
It really opens your mind to understand how to deal with Muslim countries and to know why these Muslims are behaving in this certain way.
I would highly recommend to everyone interested in the history of Muslim countries.
The course looks not only at the constitutional aspects of development of the Muslim countries, but to their development on the whole!
I learned a lot about the history and contexts of various Muslim countries, the challenges faced by them as well as the practical challenges that Islamic-based political thought have not demonstrably addressed so far.
It is a fascinating and interesting course, and it helped me a lot understand different circumstances of various Muslim countries.

I recommend this course as a jump-off point for anyone who wants to better understand this topic on an introductory level, or would like to later pursue independent study into more complex or narrow topics.
I can't recommend this course highly enough!
I have already recommended it to all of my politically-minded friends and would do so the same for everyone else interested in the region or who wants to better understand the news at least :D I recommend this course to anyone interested in the historic background of the current situation in the Middle East.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Middle East, whether you are new, or intermediate.

course to anyone
middle east
Excellent overview on the problem of mixed success in the development of Muslim world under the lens of the development of institutions.Very rich background in terms of recent history, economy and local culture: colonial past is taken into due consideration.Due to the fragmentation of the area taken into account, more than remarkable outcome: a must if you want to understand more of a culture and of regions of the worlds tragically on the forefront in many cases.In addition, the "iranian" (non european) perspective of the instructor brings even more interest into the course.An excellent companion of the Tel Aviv University Course The Emergence of the Modern Middle East, also available on the platform.
Amazing job and "Hut ab" for the teacher This is an excellent course that provided an overview of the broad scope of history of the Middle East, with an emphasis on insights into the Islamic faith over time and among Middle East cultures.
Instead of merely describing historic facts Dr Afsah systematically analyses the historic and political structure of the Middle East.
It is an attractive course about middle east.
Effective for those with no historical background to the Middle East (ME).

It can help you to better understand a region with a complicated past and a troubled presence.

I enjoyed this (as my first) coursera course from Ebrahim Afsah.
Dr. Ebrahim Afsah通过这门课程想阐明的一个重要立场是:中东地区目前面临的各种困境不能以“伊斯兰教”这一单一原因来解释,也不能过分归因于外部势力干涉。我们要提防这种最容易得出但过分简化了事实的解释。 每个国家都有其独特的历史,过去的历史,如果没有决定,至少限定了它们未来的走向;每个国家又都有不同的特点,这些特点对其社会、政治体制的影响常常远甚于伊斯兰教对其的影响。这也是为什么十周里教授要一个国家一个国家地梳理,尽可能地向我们展示这一地区的复杂性与多样性。真的是非常棒的一门课,信息量超大,课程负荷也比较重,但真的很有收获。而且Dr.
I respect professor Ebrahim Afsah very much for his great intellect and also bravery, for this must not be easy.
Informative and thought provoking series of lectures from Dr Ebrahim Afsah who is both passionate and well-informed about his subject matter.
I want to thank wholeheartedly Ebrahim Afsah and his team for their endeavours and their work, I truly appreciate them.
