Why can't we have peace in our world, and what is its future? Can
we provide basic education for all children? Why the decline in the
Arab and Muslim World after reaching the acme of achievement? Is
Islam the problem? In the land of opportunity - the United States
of America - can the Republic maintain world leadership? Can the US
sustain its leadership in innovation and prosperity, given the
evolution of its culture and politics and the rise of other
superpowers? In this century, how does knowledge acquisition
through education and scientific research determine the 'Wealth of
Nations'?This volume, The Collected Work, is an assemblage of the
author's 'Reflections on World Affairs: Peace and Politics.' The
focus is on education, science for the have-nots - as well as for
the haves - and science in diplomacy. Prof. Zewail believes that
the use of the 'soft power' of education, diplomacy, and economic
development is far more effective, and much less expensive, than
the hegemony of military aggression or politicized foreign aid.
From his unique position straddling between East-West cultures and
values, it is clear that most problems in our world arise from 'not
knowing' and 'not having.' It follows that education is critical,
not only for enlightenment, or the 'knowing,' but also for boosting
productivity and enhancing the 'having.'
