About this Blog:

My name is James Devine. I am an Associate Professor at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick Canada, where I teach international politics. My research focuses on the politics of the Middle East, and the domestic politics and foreign policy of Iran in particular. This blog is intended primarily for my students, though all are welcome. Its purpose is to make the connection between the theories and concepts discussed in class, and current events in the real world.

If you are looking for something specific, use the TAGs below, which are organized by topic and course number.

The blog also provides links to other web sites (blogs, news magazines and think-tanks) that may be of interest. The last group of links, “Perspectives: Left Right and In-Between” are for web sites that take a clear ideological stand. No source is completely “neutral” or “objective”. However, these sites self-identify as promoting a particular political or ideological agenda. Whether you agree or disagree with their particular point of view, read them critically but also generously.
