Below are summaries of CIRS achievements in all these areas: 1. Research and Scholarship The Center for International and Regional Studies sponsors major studies of regional and international significance, focused on international relations, political economy, and domestic issues of the Gulf. In the 2008-2009 academic year, CIRS organized three research initiatives, inviting working groups of scholars and practitioners from the Middle East region, Europe, and the United States, to engage in discussion and analysis on three major research projects. This academic year, CIRS also hosted its inaugural Senior and Post-Doctoral Fellows who worked under the auspices of Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (GU-Qatar) on a variety of research initiatives. An internship opportunity for students to work at CIRS was also established. In addition, CIRS continued working on its intellectual output by concentrating on its academic publications and enhancing its regional and international profile. Working Groups As part of its research and scholarship initiatives, CIRS organizes several ongoing working groups that convene in Doha to examine a variety of international issues. Please see Appendix I for a full list of participants at each event. International Relations of the Gulf, Session II January 8-9, 2009 CIRS convened the second session of the International Relations of the Gulf working group in January 2009. This meeting was part of a year-long research initiative that began in June 2008 focusing on several key aspects of the international relations of the Gulf from different angles. CIRS invited a core group of distinguished Gulf studies scholars to Doha to attend the working group meetings and to contribute individual chapters towards a book entitled The International Relations of the Gulf, to be published in the coming year. The book covers topics such as the history of Gulf Shaikhdoms, Gulf security strategies, and political reform in the region. Concomitantly, CIRS also invited several other experts in the field to act as discussants and to give critical consultation and enrich the topics under examination. The book will break new ground in the literature on the international relations of the Middle East in general, and the Gulf in particular. It will be of interest to academics and scholars spe- cializing in the Gulf and the Middle East, as well as practitioners, policy-makers, and students. CIRS Annual Report 2008-2009 1 Participants at the International Relations of the Gulf working group meeting Comparative Ethics of War Co-sponsored with International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO) May 3-4, 2009 Over a two-day meeting, the Comparative Ethics of War working group was convened in Doha in order to examine the question of ethics during times of war. Eleven experts on the subject traveled from all over the world to deliberate the topic from a multitude of disciplin- ary and theoretical angles. Left to right: Torkel Brekke, Yuri Stoyanov, Christine Amadou, and Mahinda Deegalle Migrant Labor in the Gulf May 16-17, 2009 In 2009, CIRS launched a research initiative to study migrant labor issues and concerns in the Gulf region. The initiative has two distinct but interrelated streams. One stream consists of awarding research grants to scholars interested in conducting primary research and field- 2 CIRS Annual Report 2008-2009 work on migrant labor issues in one of the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. A total of thirty-three proposal submissions were received under the grant scheme. After a rigorous selection process, the research grant committee, made up of GU-Qatar faculty, selected four of the submitted proposals to fund. The four awarded research proposals are: 1) “A Longitudinal Analysis of Low Income Laborers in Contemporary Qatar” by Andrew Gardner, Qatar University 2) “Migrants to the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: Values, Behaviors, and Plans” by Arland Thornton, Dirgha Ghimire, Mansoor Mouaddel, and Nathalie Williams, University of Michigan 3) “Migrant Labor and Legal Regulations in Doha and Dubai” by David Mednicoff, University of Massachusetts-Amherst 4) “Trends, Impacts, and Policy Implications of Lesser-Skilled India-Gulf Migrants” by Mary Breeding, Georgetown University The research grant awardees: from left, Mary Breeding, Andrew Gardner, David Mednicoff, and Dirgha Ghimire The second stream, which runs alongside the research grants program and also includes some of the grant recipients, consists of working group meetings. The first working group, which met on May 16-17, 2009, was made up of academics, experts, labor organizations, and representatives from various governmental and non-governmental organizations. The group discussed the issue of migrant labor from a broad range of perspectives and gave recommen- dations for further research. CIRS Annual Report 2008-2009 3 CIRS Research Positions CIRS undertook two successful searches for its inaugural fellowship positions. In the Fall of 2008, James Onley of the University of Exeter joined CIRS as a Senior Fellow and Katja Niethammer from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs took up her position as the inaugural Post-Doctoral Fellow at CIRS. Additionally, GU-Qatar student Assma Al-Adawi was selected to be the first CIRS intern. Below is a report of their scholarly endeavors and achievements during their time at CIRS.

A key part of the Project is the production of Analysis Papers that investigate critical, but under-explored, issues in American policy towards the Islamic world. The new U.S. agenda towards the Muslim world claims to be centered on how best it can support change in pre- vailing political structures, as a means towards undercutting the causes of and support for violent radicalism. However, little strategy has been developed for how this U.S. policy of change plans to deal with a key bulwark of the status quo, the present imbalance in civil-military relations in much of the region.

  • Petrodollar Science Waleed Al-Shobakky
    Petrodollar Science Waleed Al-Shobakky Oil executives are rarely assigned to establish universities. But when the unlikely call arrives, some hardly pause to ponder the unconventionality of the assignment. So, only five minutes into the meeting that brought him together with leading individuals from Carnegie Mellon University, Nadhmi Al-Nasr, vice president of Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil com- pany Aramco, did not mince his words: “It is perhaps unusual that an oil executive is starting a university. But given your experience in Qatar, would your university be willing to help us build a new research univer- sity in Saudi Arabia?” It was over dinner in Pittsburgh on a spring day in 2007, joined by a host of high-ranking officials from Aramco, that Al-Nasr—then the interim president of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology—posed the question to his host, Carnegie Mellon president Jared Cohon. “It is anyway easier than a university president starting an oil company,” quipped Cohon. “That was a funny retort,” Peter Lee, head of Carnegie Mellon’s com- puter science department, told me recently, recalling the encounter. “It does point out, though, how unusual the situation is, where oil executives are delegated to establish an academic institution.” Yet as odd as the encounter may have seemed, it was symbolic of a growing trend. Ever since oil was discovered in the Arab lands at the beginning of the twentieth century, it has permeated every facet of life there. Oil wealth has dramatically raised the standards of living in some Arab countries, particularly the Gulf states, catapulting one of them (Qatar) to the top of the list of countries with the highest GDP per capita in 2007.
