Soviet Lessons for Arab Modernization: Soviet Educational Aid towards Arab Countries after 1956

Soviet Lessons for Arab Modernization: Soviet Educational Aid to Arab Countries after 1956 This paper examines the Soviet-Arab cooperation in the domain of higher education and particularly the education of Arab students in the USSR. It argues that educational cooperation took shape on the ground of shared beliefs about the role of the state in the process of economic development and modernization. Soviet educational aid constituted a major vehicle for the transfer and implementation of Soviet ideas about modernization. It played a significant role in the development of Arab countries and marked the Soviet-Arab partnership.

Les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) : une chance pour le développement du monde arabe

Cet article demontre que l’acces aux TIC reste limite dans le monde arabe. Il montre que cette region souffre d’une « double fracture numerique ». Une premiere entre les monarchies du Golfe et le reste du monde arabe liee essentiellement aux differences de revenus et du capital humain qui caracterisent ces deux sous-regions. Toutefois, l’etude empirique montre que la relation entre le revenu national brut par habitant (RNB/tete) et la diffusion des TIC au sein du monde arabe est statistiquement significative, tandis que celle entre le capital humain et la diffusion des TIC ne l’est pas. Une deuxieme fracture existe entre les pays arabes pris dans leur ensemble et le reste du monde en particulier les pays de l’OCDE. L’insuffisance des infrastructures, le cout eleve de l’acces, le manque de creation locale de contenus, les problemes culturels et politiques et leurs effets sur l’acces aux informations et sur la liberte d’expression et la capacite inegale de tirer parti, aux niveaux economique et social, d’activites a forte intensite d’information retardent l’assimilation des TIC par les pays arabes et le developpement de la societe arabe de l’information. Enfin, cet article met l’accent sur les benefices en matiere de developpement que les Etats arabes peuvent tirer des TIC mais egalement les defis qu’ils devraient relever a cause de cette « revolution » technologique.

Renewable-energy developments in Arab countries: a regional perspective

This paper details the status of renewable-energy (RE) developments in Arab countries (AC) as an essential element for the sustainable economic development of these countries, despite their wealth in oil and gas. The paper first presents a review of the RE resources in AC and sheds light on some achieved and/or ongoing RE projects in the region. It also examines the adequacy of the present national institutions responsible for RE developments, and evaluates the effectiveness of work programmes of major regional and international organizations supporting RE activities. Finally, the paper identifies major obstacles hindering the large-scale penetration of RE into the energy markets of AC, and draws conclusions for increasing RE contribution to those markets.

Management Development in Arab Countries: The Challenges of the 1990s

Assesses the future of management development (MD) in Arab countries in the 1990s. Interprets developments in the political, economic and organizational fields to support an appreciable increase in the need and demand for MD in these countries. Encourages MD firms to adopt a growth strategy to meet this demand. Advises foreign MD firms and consultants, lacking experience in dealing with the Arab market, to confine their initial operations to the sale of MD packages and the supply of technical consultations, possibly shifting to a more aggressive strategy at a later stage. Argues that local public and private firms must concentrate on expanding their services as well as improving them. Includes specific recommendations on how to deal with major problems in MD programmes, design and implementation.
