Figures for Scotland in 2007 show that the number of people killed or seriously injured was 45% below the level of the mid 1990s, the number of children killed or seriously injured was 67% below, and the slight casualty rate had declined by 35%. However, every death and every serious injury on the roads is one too many. We need to maintain the huge effort made by many people in Scotland towards making our roads safer. Indeed, we need to take stock and see what more we can do. It is for this reason that the Scottish Government initiated this Road Safety Framework for Scotland to 2020. An Expert Panel was set up to help steer the direction of this Framework and it has made an excellent contribution to the debate.

  • US Democracy Promotion in the Middle East
    The London School of Economics and Political Science US Democracy Promotion in the Middle East The Pursuit of Hegemony? Dionysius Markakis A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, October 2012 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 86.627 words. 1 Abstract The promotion of ‘democracy’ abroad has been a feature of US foreign policy since the earlier part of the twentieth century, accompanying its rise as an international actor. It provided the ideological basis for its opposition to rivals in the form of imperialism, fascism and then communism. The end of the Cold War, which signalled the emergence of the US as the sole superpower, accelerated this process. With the ideological fusion of democracy and capitalism credited in large measure for the defeat of communism and the state-planned economy, the promotion of democracy alongside capitalism as the only viable, legitimate mode of governance emerged as an increasingly important component of US foreign policy.

  • Private Equity in the MENA Region
    Foreword Dear Friends of the MENA Private Equity Association and Colleagues, I am much honored to introduce the 8th edition of the “Private Equity & Venture Capital in the MENA Region” annual report. Since 2006, this report has presented the state of our industries and overall economic development in the region. Those of you who have been part of the region’s private equity and venture capital landscapes would likely agree that this period of time represents an eventful part of our professional lives. We witnessed extraordinary economic development with the cyclical ups and downs of which we are all aware, as well as a crippling financial crisis that deeply impacted both investors and the region’s growth and development opportunities. Such challenging circumstances have profoundly impacted the stakeholders in our investment community, including regulatory bodies, the general public, fund managers, and entrepreneurs. In particular, these groups have developed a sophisticated view of what actually drives economic value and the role private investors can play to foster and accelerate the development and growth of companies and industries to build a sustainable and internationally competitive regional economy. This has led to a fundamental shift in the relationship between private equity investors and managers. Investors have become more knowledgeable, and therefore more selective and vocal, and managers have generally adjusted to accommodate the needs of these more sophisticated investors. As a result, we are continuously gaining more trust from all of our stakeholders – and this is actually the key factor for the long-term success of our industry. The MENA Private Equity Association is not only the platform through which we can collaborate and communicate our efforts, but also the collective voice that conveys the impact of our investment activities on the regional economy and supports our relationships with other private equity and venture capital associations around the world.

  • Recognising Safety Achievement
    RECOGNISING SAFETY ACHIEVEMENT Years OF THE PRINCE MICHAEL INTERNATIONAL ROAD 30SAFETY AWARDS “I had the privilege of observing HRH Prince Michael of Kent’s personal commitment during his 2014 visit to one of our Helmets for Kids schools in Vietnam, where 1000 children were given motorbike helmets when riding with their parents. His influence has greatly inspired the next generation of safe road users in Vietnam.” Greig Craft President & Founder, AIP Foundation “Road safety cannot be delivered by government alone – the Prince’s awards help to highlight the wide diversity of outstanding contributions which have made a real difference from the private sector, local governments and communities from across the world.” Rt. Hon. Baroness Helene Hayman GBE, PC, former Lord Speaker, House of Lords “Change takes time and commitment. His Royal Highness has been generous with both. His patronage of the Commission for Global Road Safety helped us in advancing the diplomacy which led to the UN Decade of Action and a target in the Sustainable Development Goals. His Awards have recognised, rewarded and urged on the international leaders in this field.” Rt. Hon. Lord Robertson of Port Ellen KT GCMG Chairman, FIA Foundation “The UK has an enviable record of success in combatting death and injury on our roads and the Prince Michael Road Safety Awards have played no small part in that success. I congratulate His Royal Highness on a superb initiative and wish the Awards continued success in the future.” Steve Norris Former PMIRSA Chairman and Transport Minister
