Résumé
Arabic for Politics and International Relations is the first textbook for high-intermediate to advanced students of Arabic that focuses on Arabic as it is used in the fields of politics, diplomacy, governance, and international relations.
Thematically organised, each chapter includes a selection of authentic reading texts that demonstrate the language in use while introducing students to a key topic or theme such as political systems, government, human rights, conflict resolution, and defence. Each chapter has a range of exercises that include comprehension questions, questions designed to develop vocabulary, understanding the morphology, rhetoric and style. There are a range of activities that allow students to practice all four language skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
Arabic for Politics and International Relations is ideal for advanced- level Arabic courses.
