Islam and Geopolitics in Eurasia

This course will examine the role of Islam in the geopolitics of the post-Soviet states. There are six countries in the region which already have a Muslim majority, a seventh -- the Russian Federation -- which will have a Muslim majority within a generation, and all of the others are affected either by the existence of Muslim enclaves within them -- Ukraine and Moldova -- or the flow of migrants from the Muslim regions of other states.
