It may help the reader to grasp the relation between the nature of the country and the general purposes of this study. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a new country in an old Arabian land, dating from 1932 when it was founded by King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud. It is located in the southwest of Asia, with an estimated population of eight million, and occupies four- fifths of the Arabian Peninsula— 865,000 square miles. This peninsula was a land of many ancient civilizations. During the first millennium B.C. there was the Kingdom of Kinda in the center, Sheba in the south, the Nabataen Kingdom and Dedan Kingdom in the northwest. It was the land of the prophets Shu'ayb, Saleh, Solomon, Mohammad, and where Moses lived for ten years before he was sent as a prophet into Egypt. Its geographical location: Arabian Gulf— east, Arabian sea— south, and the Red Sea on the west— made it a strategic trade center for ancient routes between the East, Africa and southern Europe. The Arabian Peninsula was not merely a desert, but a land of influence and a link with the early civilizations. According to D. J. Hablin (1982): The entire Peninsula is in fact a sort of geographical accident which for millennia served as both a barrier and trade route between the early civilizations around its periphery. Its sporadic importance to the wider world has always been because it possessed— or could deliver— something very valuable to other cultures. The Arabian desert of legend is not, and never has been, either all desert or all deserted. Lost in the wastes are cities with defense walls and towers, elaborate palaces with murals, and shrines to forgotten gods. (pp. 43-54) Before the coming of Islam in 622 A.D. the Arabs of Makkah— now in Saudi Arabia— were well known for their two

  • Satellite Television and Public Sphere in Egypt: Is There a Link? Dr
    Satellite Television and Public Sphere in Egypt: Is there a Link? Dr. Basyouni Ibrahim Hamada Professor of Communication, Cairo University Acting Dean, Faculty of Mass Communication, MSA University www.crcegypt.com Introduction Among the most salient developments in present societies are fundamental and rapid changes of mass media. Public discussions and academic literature are speculating on the societal consequences of these changes. There is a concern that media changes contribute to a deterioration of the political process in general and to a fragmentation of the public sphere and an increase of political cynicism in particular (Schulz, in Splichal, 2001). Research on this area has mixed conclusions on how communication technologies affect the public sphere. More importantly is that political and communication sciences literature on democratization offer little guidance on the hypothesized relationship between electronic communications and public sphere and the level of democracy within a nation. This is of course not surprising; given the novelty of the Internet, e-mail, direct satellite broadcasting and even the widespread availability of fax machines. (Hill & Hughes). On the other hand, we should not read the ongoing broadcast transformation as a linear process leading to a truly independent and critical political role for television in contemporary Arab societies. The emergencies of commercial television and the restructuring of government-operated systems are in no way conducive to political pluralism and diversity in Arab societies dominated by authoritarian political systems (Aysh, 2002). I argue that most of questions about the impact of satellite television on the public sphere in the Arab world have not been answered yet and what has been written on the subject reflects individual understanding of the hypothesized links between developments of satellite television and that of public sphere.

  • Race and Transnationalism in the First Syrian-American Community, 1890-1930
    Abstract Title of Thesis: RACE ACROSS BORDERS: RACE AND TRANSNATIONALISM IN THE FIRST SYRIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, 1890-1930 Zeinab Emad Abrahim, Master of Arts, 2013 Thesis Directed By: Professor, Madeline Zilfi Department of History This research explores the transnational nature of the citizenship campaign amongst the first Syrian Americans, by analyzing the communication between Syrians in the United States with Syrians in the Middle East, primarily Jurji Zaydan, a Middle-Eastern anthropologist and literary figure. The goal is to demonstrate that while Syrian Americans negotiated their racial identity in the United States in order to attain the right to naturalize, they did so within a transnational framework. Placing the Syrian citizenship struggle in a larger context brings to light many issues regarding national and racial identity in both the United States and the Middle East during the turn of the twentieth century.

    Energy in Jordan A Youth Perspective Position Paper A joint project between Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Germanwatch and the Written by: Green Generation Foundation Amjad Khashman Kareem Shukri Qusai Al-Abbassi Mohammad Aliwat Ehab Al-Amleh Sewar Taweel Safa Al-Momani Sarah Haddadin Leen Baddar Yousef Awawdeh “Young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are the leaders of today […] Young men and women like you are bringing new energy, creativity and dynamism to labor markets, to schools, to universities like this one [University of Jordan], to government, and – I hope – to diplomacy and international relations.” - UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon in Amman 2016 - [LW1] The impacts of climate change can already be felt across the world and are becoming more severe as the global average temperature rises. Countries all over the world are engaged in a race against time to tackle the global climate crisis. Limiting global warming implies reconsidering almost all elements of our daily life, most of which are connected to the energy sector: water, food, buildings, transportation, global trade, etc. The energy sector is the largest source of global greenhouse gas emissions through its burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity, produce heat or power engines, which directly causes climate change. However, as technologies rapidly improve and prices drop, many renewable energy options have emerged as an alternative to fossil fuels. Promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency is now an important part of the international climate debate and national energy policy in many countries, both of which are aimed at slowing down climate change.
