The wave of protests and populist uprisings in the Middle East has
heightened the focus on a volatile region. But the emphasis on
political issues has obscured underlying issues concerning
education, infrastructure, research, innovation, entrepreneurship
and sustainable economic and social development. This volume,
emerging in the aftermath of a conference and workshop on science
and technology in the region, presents contributions from a range
of experts from the Middle East, Europe, and the United States to
provide fresh new insights and perspectives on the challenges and
prospects for regional development in the changing global context
of our time. The authors explore such topics as: the role of
information and communication technologies; mindset change in
support of investment in intangible assets and risk-taking; how to
approach cultural issues, institutions and governance;
collaborations with other regions, and; benchmarking performance
while drawing lessons of relevance for the special local context.
Ultimately, they offer a number of precise policy recommendations
and practical insights for creating an enabling environment for
capturing economic, political, and social opportunity.
