    No. 6, November 2017 WORKING PAPERS MILITARY FACTORS IN THE MENA REGION: CHALLENGING TRENDS Sven Biscop and Julien Sassel This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No 693244 Middle East and North Africa Regional Architecture: Mapping Geopolitical Shifts, Regional Order and Domestic Transformations WORKING PAPERS No. 6, November 2017 MILITARY FACTORS IN THE MENA REGION: CHALLENGING TRENDS Sven Biscop and Julien Sassel1 ABSTRACT Although the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has witnessed a long series of conflicts since the end of the Second World War, it is now in the unprecedented situation where nearly all MENA states are involved to a certain extent in ongoing conflict (e.g. in the Iraq–Syria area; Libya; Yemen). MENA states are involved to different degrees in these conflicts, ranging from direct involvement on the ground or in the air, to the arming and training of armed non-state actors. This report assesses the evolution of the armed forces, procurement and the defence industry in the countries of the MENA region, starting with the major regional powers, whose leverage extends across the region. Second, it looks at the middle regional powers, those who have some capacity for power projection but mostly at the sub-regional level. This is followed by analysis of the remaining states, those with little or no capacity for power projection. Finally, the report looks at those states on whose territory war is currently being waged, where governments and non-state actors are vying for control of the national territory.

All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. ABSTRACT The Emir of Qatar firmly believes that security without development is not sustainable in the long run. Endorsed by Qatar’s top leadership, this conviction has spread contagiously to all corners of the public and private spheres, leading, in turn, to numerous initiatives and massive investments directed at the development of the country. Sustainable development investments in Qatar are promising, but the process is very slow amidst dynamic globalization. Technology capability is a key factor in accelerating the growth of economic, social and environmental development. Hence, the aim of this dissertation is to assess the effectiveness of technology transfer in Qatar's search for sustainable development. The scope of the dissertation is confined to an analysis of certain government agencies involved in technology transfer; the government, the industry and R&D centres. The study developed a framework of measures to assess Qatari technology transfer and sustainable development, categorized into nine themes, including sustainable development, governance and internal environment, external technology resources, internal technology resource measures, absorptive capacity, value chain, value network, research and development and competitiveness.

  • Georgia Tech Education Extends Beyond Classroom
    ACADEMICS 259 Tech Academics . Broadening Horizon 260 / Academics Academics / 261 Georgia Tech Education Extends Beyond Classroom To Georgia Tech Students: One of the great things about the 1988 Blueprint, or any yearbook, is that it chron- icles more or less the entire range of activities that make up the life of a stu- dent. Three very important things about Georgia Tech are apparent in browsing through the Blueprint — things that we often lose sight of in our day-to-day ex- istence. First, Georgia Tech is not only difficult and demanding, but Georgia Tech is fun! "Work hard, play hard" is the dominant philosophy here, and the play is as important as the work. Second, a great deal of education at Georgia Tech never makes it on the transcript, never sees the inside of a classroom, and never satisfies a degree requirement. It takes place in the context of student organizations and activities, in fraternities, sororities, and dormitories, on the athletic field or in just kicking ideas around over coffee or some other beverage. Third, Georgia Tech is made up of some pretty decent people — people you will be happy to count as friends for the rest of your lives. It is this broader perspective on what constitutes the real Georgia Tech experience that the Blueprint helps provide. The experiences chronicled in the 1988 Blueprint comprise the foundations upon which success in the later life is built. Take advantage of what Georgia Tech provides — in non-academic as well as academic areas. You will join the ranks of thousands of distinguished Georgia Tech alumni sooner than you think.
