This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its emphasis on the primacy of change, this study arrives at a particularly auspicious moment, as the Middle East continues to be convulsed by the greatest upheavals in generations, which have come to be known as the Arab Spring. Originally prepared as the tenth-anniversary volume of the UNDP's Arab Human Development Report, Arab Human Development in the Twenty-first Century places empowerment at the center of human development in the Arab world, viewing it not only from the vantage point of a more equitable distribution of economic resources but also of fundamental legal, educational, and political reform. The ten chapters in this book follow closely this political economy framework. They look back at what Arab countries have achieved since the early 2000s and forward to what remains to be done to reach full development. Supported by a wealth of statistical material, they cover the rule of law, the evolution of media, the persistence of corruption, the draining of resources through armed conflict, the dominance and increase of poverty, the environment, and religious education. The concluding chapter attempts an inventory of the world literature and different experiences on democratic transition to explore where the region could be heading. This critical and timely study is indispensable reading to development specialists and to Middle East scholars and students alike, as well as to anyone with an interest in the future trajectory of the region.

Book excerpt: Taking these shortcomings into consideration, as in the composition of our human deve- lopment indicator, leads to the retreat of the positions of Arab countries compared to the traditional Human Develo- pment Index. [...] Future Arab Human Development Reports It should come as no surprise then that the AHDR team has decided to devote the second Arab Human Development Report, scheduled for mid 2003, to the theme of "Building the knowledge society in the Arab countries" and the third Arab Human Development Report, due for launch in mid 2004, to "Deepening Freedom, through instituting Good Governance, in the Arab coun. [...] As a case in point, the position of official Europe, Spain not excepted, vis-à-vis a looming destructive war in the Arab region in the face of overwhelming popular opposition, and with a notable exception for the noble position of the European Parliament, is gravely disappointing, indeed shameful. [...] In my opinion, it is precisely at the body and soul where we find the key to Fergany's thinking, and the strength of his argument against overemphasizing the economic development of peoples, for it must be accompanied by true human development, the development of individuals progressing as such, and should not - or at least, not only - be measured in terms of an increase in per capita income. [...] The aim should be to progress on the basis of sound and permanent advances in the field of freedom, considered as the true measure for development by the Report, as stated before.

Book excerpt: "In 2003, the United Nations Development Programme published a widely read and controversial study that examined the region's progress in developing the knowledge, skills, and institutions rewarded in today's global economy. The study, entitled the Arab Human Development Report 2003: Building a Knowledge Society, presented a comprehensive explanation for the "knowledge deficit" and equally comprehensive prescriptions for reform. These reforms, the report emphasized, must be driven by Arabs. But openness and deeper engagement with the world is essential"--Exec. summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of women in Arab countries goes beyond redressing historical injustices against them and ensuring their equitable treatment - notwithstanding that both are due obligations for Arab societies. Indeed, the advancement of women is a pre-requisite for a comprehensive Arab renaissance. Arab countries have undoubtedly attained significant achievements in the advancement of women, but the ultimate objectives of this endeavour, as conceptualised in the Arab Human Development Reports, require further effort. Much more remains to be accomplished by way of enabling the equitable acquisition and utilisation of human capabilities and the exercise of human rights, before women's advancement can be complete. Since the status of women in the Arab world is a culmination of the complex - and often problematic - interaction of cultural, social, economic and political factors, there are many impediments to this process in the region. Nevertheless, Arab women have managed to attain outstanding achievements in diverse fields of human activity. Societal reform aimed at enabling the rise of women, in line with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), is envisioned as one of the two wings of the bird symbolising the rise of women in the Arab world. A bird, however, needs two wings to fly. The other wing would be a wide-ranging and effective movement in Arab civil society that engages both women and their male supporters in steadily extending and consolidating targeted societal reform initiatives on the one hand, and on the other, empowering women - and the society at large - to benefit from them. In particular, the report calls for the adoption of time-bound affirmative action, tailored to the specificities of each Arab society, in order to expand the participation of women in all fields of human activity. This is considered imperative to dismantle the structures of centuries of discrimination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of authoritarianism, a wave of political change and unrest began to sweep across the Middle East and North Africa in early 2011. Successful democratic transitions will not be easy and will require change in multiple spheres. This report focuses on one sphere whose power and importance is often underestimated: the artistic arena. Regional artists have the potential to positively contribute to democratic transition by shaping public debate in ways that support tolerance and nonviolence. But Arab artists are often squeezed between the bounds of acceptable discourse, set by rulers who fear freedom of expression and conservative societal groups that seek to control acceptable behavior. Although the Arab uprisings lifted some previous barriers to artistic expression, new limitations and challenges have emerged. Moreover, artists continue to lack sound funding models to support their work and face limited markets and distribution mechanisms. This research explores the challenges posed by both the state and society in the region, as well as the policy shifts that may be necessary to better support regional artists. It also suggests new strategies in which regional actors and nongovernmental organizations take leading roles in supporting these artists and their work.
