All Rights Reserved. ____________________________ The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies is an independent research institute and think tank for the study of history and social sciences, with particular emphasis on the applied social sciences. The Center‟s paramount concern is the advancement of Arab societies and states, their cooperation with one another and issues concerning the Arab nation in general. To that end, it seeks to examine and diagnose the situation in the Arab world – states and communities – to analyze social, economic, and cultural policies and to provide political analysis from an Arab perspective. The Center publishes in both Arabic and English in order to make its work accessible to both Arab and non-Arab researchers.

Without fail, we return from the Festival energized by the films and inspired by the expert advice from filmmakers. So I started thinking about ways to recreate that energy in the class- room, eventually arriving at the concept for this DVD. This DVD is a chance to hear from emerging and seasoned filmmakers as they discuss technical, legal, ethical and busi- ness issues of documentary film. It was created to be watched in brief topical sections, although it can also be watched straight through. We’ve organized the subjects as they might be encoun- tered in creating a film, from finding good stories to getting your film out there. This booklet also contains short discussion ques- tions to be used in class or by aspiring filmmakers to think more about the ideas and insights offered by our interviewees.

    Committee to Protect Journalists 2008 Annual Report www.cpj.org Mission The Committee to Protect Journalists works to promote press freedom worldwide. We take action when journalists are censored, jailed, kidnapped, or killed for their efforts to tell the truth. In our defense of journalists, CPJ protects the right of all people to have access to diverse and independent sources of information. CPJ has been a leading voice in the global press freedom movement since its founding in 1981. We defend journalists and news organizations without regard to political ideology. To maintain our independence, CPJ accepts no government funding. We are supported entirely by private contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations.

Even in war zones, murder is the leading cause of death for journal- ists. And in the vast majority of cases—more than 85 percent—the killers go free. With these grim statistics in mind, CPJ launched its Global Campaign Against Impunity to bring the killers of journalists to justice.

An exposé by the Intercept online magazine showed how, in pri- vate e-mail messages to CIA public affairs staff, Dilanian had not only shared entire drafts of his stories with the agency prior to publication, but had also offered to write up for the CIA on at least one occasion a story on controversial US drone strikes overseas that would be “reas- suring to the public” and “a good opportunity” for the CIA to put its spin on the issue.1 And Dilanian was not alone.

  • Bibliography of the Arabian Peninsula
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE ARABIAN PENINSULA J.E. Peterson Prefatory Note: This bibliography concentrates on citations relating to the Arabian Peninsula that I have collected over some three decades. Items have been published in various Western languages as well as Arabic. This is very much a work in progress and cannot be considered complete. Similarly, presentation of the bibliography here in the present format should be regarded as an interim effort despite its imperfections. A number of older citations have yet to be transferred from notecards to the database on which this bibliography is based. Some items are unpublished, other citations are not complete (typically lacking volume details and page numbers for periodical citations). Shorter articles and those of a more transitory nature, i.e. newspaper and newsletter articles, have been excluded. I have not been able to examine all the items and therefore undoubtedly there are many mistakes in citations and inevitably some items have been included that do not actually exist. The bibliography is in simple and rough alphabetical order according to author only because I have had no opportunity to rearrange by subject. Alphabetization was done automatically within the original database and idiosyncrasies in the database regarding non-English diacritical marks may make alphabetization somewhat irregular. For similar reasons, the order in which entries by the same author are listed may also be irregular. The subjects reflect my own interests and therefore range from history through the social sciences and international affairs. Generally speaking, archaeology, the arts, the physical sciences, and many areas of culture, inter alia, have not been included.

  • Gulf Oil And
    SYMPO S IUM : GULF OIL AND GA S : WHAT ARE THE PRODUCER S THINKIN G ? GULF OIL AND GAS : WHAT ARE THE PR O DUCERS THINKIN G ? Nathaniel Kern, Fareed Mohamedi, Lucian Pugliaresi, Jean-François Seznec The following is an edited transcript of the sixtieth in a series of Capitol Hill conferences convened by the Middle East Policy Council. The meeting was held Thursday, April 22, 2010, with Thomas R. Mattair presiding. THOMAS MATTAIR: Executive director, Middle East Policy Council, and associate editor, Middle East Policy; author, Global Security Watch—Iran: A Reference Handbook Today we’re examining what the oil and gas producers are thinking when they make their calculations and which economic and political factors influence their decisions. The domestic economic factors would be their need for revenue, their desire to diversify their economies, their need to satisfy domestic constituencies — and, in the case of Iraq, the domestic political instability that could challenge oil development. In the international realm, what are the geopolitical forces that the producers have to take into account? Where is demand falling, and where is it rising? Who do their most important customers have to be in a strictly economic sense, and who are their most important political and strategic partners? We have some divergence taking place there now, as the customers are in the East and the security partners are in the West. NATHANIEL KERN: President, Foreign Reports Obviously, none of us here can speak for the governments in the region. But I will de- scribe some of the changes that have occurred in the historic relationship that the United States has had with a key producer — Saudi Arabia — and then look to the future and the mutually beneficial mixture of “hard” and “soft” power each of the two countries brings to the relationship.

    A Crude Threat A Crude Threat Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson and The Limits of an Iranian Missile Miranda Priebe Campaign against Saudi Arabian Oil Developments in Iran’s ballistic missile program have made headlines over the last several years.1 In the United States, Senator Carl Levin calls Iran’s short- and medium- range missile arsenal “the number one threat in the Middle East,” and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Michèle Flournoy argues, “The threat from Iran’s short- and medium-range ballistic missiles is developing more rap- idly than previously projected.”2 Israeli ofªcials similarly describe the Iranian missile program as “a matter of grave concern.”3 States around the Persian Gulf, meanwhile, worry that Iran’s missiles are meant to intimidate and ex- tract political concessions from them, with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah not- ing that the Iranians “launch missiles in the hope of putting fear in the people and the world.”4 These worries are not simply abstract concerns. At a time when the United States and its allies remain locked in a standoff with Iran over the latter’s nu- clear program, states around the Persian Gulf fear that Iran would retaliate for an attack on its nuclear program by striking regional oil installations and other strategic targets.5 Iranian ofªcials have threatened to use ballistic missiles in Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson and Miranda Priebe are doctoral candidates in the Political Science Depart- ment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
