Foreword Under the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, our beloved Emir, the pioneer of our advancement and the leader of our march forward, the first National Development Strategy for the State of Qatar 2011–2016 was prepared to set a path towards achieving the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030. The National Strategy deepens our commitment to increasing the well-being of all Qatari citizens and lays out a carefully designed programme for how to continue providing the best education and healthcare as well as social protection and employment opportunities in a prosperous, stable and secure society that nurtures its members and preserves and protects family cohesion. A product of consultations with all segments of Qatari society, including the private sector and civil society, the Strategy takes into account Qatar’s cultural and religious values, as well as the needs of future generations, covering all aspects of social, economic and environmental activity. Qatar’s tremendous progress is clear in all fields. However, the stresses that accompany rapid progress are also visible. Our mission—balanced and sustainable growth—requires responsible use of resources and continuous modernization and development of public institutions to ensure good programme management and high-quality public services. This Strategy also highlights our competitive position in the international economy and reminds us of the effective role we must play at both the regional and international levels. I would like to thank all those who contributed—in particular, the National Steering Committee, the Executive Groups, Task Teams and technical support groups. I would also like to commend the General Secretariat for Development Planning and its Secretary General for their role in coordinating the preparation of the Strategy. Everyone in Qatar, including the private sector and civil society, must fully commit to implementing the Strategy’s framework and achieving its development objectives. Doing so will bring prosperity and benefits for us today as well as for Qatar’s future generations. May Allah guide our steps.

  • Arabs at the Crossroads: Political Identity and Nationalism
    Book Review of Hilal Khashan's Arabs at the Crossroads: Political Identity and Nationalism (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2000), The Arab World Geographer/Le Géographe du monde arabe 3(2):141-147, 2000. In the book Arabs at the Crossroads, Hilal Khashan, an associate professor of political science at the American University of Beirut, provides a vivid description of Arab political performance since the decline of the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century and the subsequent formal abrogation of the Islamic Caliphate in 1924 amidst rising European colonialism and Zionism. The book is small (149 pages of text) but concise and well written. Despite raising some very controversial issues, Khashan has combined the coolness of scholarship with intellectual rigor and political concern. His dispassionate perspective is refreshing and makes the book unapologetically independent and provocative. The book consists of nine chapters mostly focused on Arab political experience during the twentieth century. Chapter 1 examines the roots of the identity crisis in the Arab world, especially the ways in which “nineteenth-century reformers disturbed the Arab mind by sowing distrust in the Ottoman empire, without securing a tenable ideological alternative to that religious state and to Islam which it embodied” (page 1). Chapter 2 discusses the birth and the universalization of the European nation-state model of secular nationalism and its many incomplete versions in non-Western cultures, particularly in Muslim countries where “the clash between ethnocentrism and religion seems to resolve itself to the detriment of the former, without the latter emerging as a clear victor” (page 24). While this is a brilliant description of how modern Arab identity seems to swing constantly from Arab nationalism to Islamic identity and back, it stops short of an in-depth theoretical analysis of what constitutes the essence of identity in the Arab world.

  • Chapter 2 Building a Society with a Lifelong Love of Sports [PDF:556KB]
    BUILDING A SOCIETY WITH Chapter 2 A LIFELONG LOVE OF SPORTS Part 1 Basic Measures to Promote Sports 1 Progress Made in Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports, and Direction of Future Measures (1) Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports Sports enrich our lives and make us more balanced. Also, sports satisfy both physical and mental needs. Sports are enjoyed by all people in the world. As an activity that influences our lives both physically and mentally, sport is thus essential to the creation of an optimistic, affluent, and vigorous society and in the sound physical and mental development of the individual. It is therefore of fundamental importance to allow people to partake in sports activities throughout their lives. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), based on the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports formulated in September 2000, is implementing various measures to promote sports. The basic plan provides the fundamental principles for promoting sports in Japan based on the Sports Promotion Law and sets out specific promotion activities, including targets for the decade from FY2001 to FY2010. Progress of the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports (Example) (1) Measures to improve the local environment to create a lifelong sports society To increase the percentage of people doing a sport at least once a week to at least 50% (one out of two persons) • Progress As a result of boosting a range of different measures to create a society in which all people can enjoy sport at every stage of their lives (“lifelong sports society”), including nationwide deploy- ment of comprehensive community sports clubs, the percentage of adults doing a sport at least once a week increased from 37.2% in 2000 to 38.5% in 2004.
