Executive Summary Bahrain’s democratic reform process has come to a standstill since 2009, which marked the 10th anniversary of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s accession to power. The positive developments in civil and political liberties observed with the start of the reform process in 2002 have in recent years been counteracted by repressive state tactics in which freedoms of expression and assembly have suffered most.

III Dissertation Advisor: Roger Owen Author: Asher Aviad Orkaby The International History of the Yemen Civil War, 1962-68 Abstract The deposition of Imam Muhammad al-Badr in September 1962 was the culmination of a Yemeni nationalist movement that began in the 1940s with numerous failed attempts to overthrow the traditional religious legal order. Prior to 1962, both the USSR and Egypt had been cultivating alliances with al-Badr in an effort to secure their strategic interests in South Arabia. In the days following the 1962 coup d'état, Abdullah Sallal and his cohort of Yemeni officers established a republic and concealed the fate of al- Badr who had survived an assault on his Sana’a palace and whose supporters had already begun organizing a tribal coalition against the republic.

Research Department, Bank of Israel, POB 780, Jerusalem 91007, Israel A Seigniorage Perspective on the introduction ofa Palesitnian Currency ^ I Introduction In the economic agreements between the Palestinians and both Israel and Jordan, it was decided to postpone the issue of an independent Palestinian currency to later negotiations.1 While the introduction of an independent currency has political aspects, it certainly has economic implications for the development of the Palestinian economy. Prior to the interim arrangements of 1994, the two areas had no money of their own, no monetary authorities and very limited financial intermediation. The civil administration running the areas did not issue debts, neither internal nor external. Thus, monetary and fiscal policies, in the traditional meaning of these terms, did not exist, with all the implications for the economies of the West Bank and Gaza. The money used in the West Bank and Gaza since 1967 was Israeli money (New Israeli Shekels ­ NIS since 1985 and old Shekels and the Israeli Lira ­ IL, prior to this date) and Jordanian money (Jordanian Dinar ­ JD) which was legal tender only in the West Bank. The financial system was relatively undeveloped. The Jordanian Cairo­Amman Bank had received permission to open branches in the West Bank in 1986, but in 1993 only nine branches of the bank were functioning in the West Bank.
