President's Report PrESIDENT’S REPorT 2008 09 TABLE OF 8 26 34 CONTENTS 36 4 30 28 2 Letters AUC New Cairo Inauguration Ambition and Impact: The Future of AUC Sponsored Programs Financials Club President’s Board of Trustees Facts and Figures PRESIDENT’S LETTER This has been a transformational year for the American University in Cairo. As we celebrated the university’s illustrious 90-year history, we also completed the long-awaited move to our new campus. In February, Egypt’s First Lady Suzanne Mubarak joined us to mark these historic events, which also symbolized the close of one chapter in AUC’s history, as we embark on a new chapter, prepared to fully capitalize on the multitude of opportunities our history and amazing facilities present. Over the past year, we have expanded our academic offerings, increased our institutional partnerships and attracted unprecedented numbers of students of the highest caliber. We have restructured our schools to establish a School of Business, a School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, and a Graduate School of Education, giving each school the specialization it needs to focus and excel in its respective area. We have achieved the most stringent levels of academic accreditation and recruited top-tier faculty members at the forefront of their fields. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Under the leadership of Provost DAVID D. ARNOLD Lisa Anderson, AUC is embarking on a bold dream of becoming a global center of academic excellence, rivaling the best institutions around the world. As the university settles into the campus and while plans are underway for the future, it is imperative that I take this chance to thank you — our friends and supporters. Your generosity and determination have made the dreams of the founders of this university a reality, and it is your continued support that will ensure that AUC realizes its aspirations for the future. 2 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Since its founding 90 years ago, the American University in Cairo has benefited from a deeply committed and actively engaged Board of Trustees, as well as a group of loyal supporters who have seen it through decades of turbulence and triumphs to where it stands today. In fact, many members of our board have family ties that date back to the founding of AUC, when its sole aspiration was to provide an English-language education in a few disciplines to Egyptian youth. What is taking place on campus today — from exciting new research in biotechnology to world-renowned Arabic study programs and innovative partnerships with international institutions — is the tangible result of this commitment to AUC’s mission by so many individuals for many decades. Well beyond the dream of becoming a recognized university and building a campus, AUC has risen to prominence as a well-respected center for scholars and students from around the world. Equally impressive is the university’s singular ability to link and embody the best of American liberal-arts education with the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and the region. AUC occupies a unique space from which it can educate the leaders of Egypt and the region, serve as a portal for the exploration and understanding of both American and Arab culture, and give the Middle East a teaching and research institution at par with the best in the world. Your support, along with generations of supporters over the past 90 years, has positioned AUC as the leader in higher education it is today and created a B. BOYD HIGHT promise of a future that exceeds all expectations. 3 The Hatem and Janet Mostafa Core Academic Center and the AUC Library overlooking Bartlett Plaza Americana Food Court U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Margaret Scobey delivering U.S. AUC President David D.

This is what will define the next era in AUC history according to Provost Lisa Anderson. With the relocation to the New Cairo campus this year, AUC is now poised to become one of the world’s leading universities — fully capitalizing on the depth of Cairo to make an impact in the community and the world. “We must not be afraid of being ambitious,” said Anderson. “We have to set our goals high. In almost anything we pursue, we ought to be able to say clearly and proudly: This is what we do, and this is the impact we are having.” 9 PluggED IN. AUC is now positioned to pursue an ambitious goal of joining what Anderson predicts will be an elite group of universities that are truly global. “The world of higher education will become tightly networked in the next 10 or 20 years, and there will be around 100 really well-known universities around the world. I believe AUC can be one of those,” said Anderson. Until the end of the 20th century, older universities with large libraries and research collections had a distinct advantage, explained Anderson. As a result, smaller and newer universities were always trying to catch up with resource-rich institutions. “What was rewarding about our project is that it is human centered so it is not just about computers and machines. People can actually benefit from it,” saidY oussef Kashef, AUC senior who co-authored an award-winning project with fellow engineering student Abdelrahman Mahmoud. The engineering students, who are already seeing the impact of their work before they graduate, developed a wearable emotion-recognition system that promises to help autistic children connect with others. The project, which received first prize at the internationalA ssociation for Computing Machinery conference, was a collaboration between the two seniors and a graduate student at MIT’s Media Laboratory. 10 12 “With half of the region’s population below 25 years of age, academic institutions have a singular contribution to make in shaping the direction of the Middle East,” said Ambassador Nabil Fahmy, founding dean of AUC’s new School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. The school develops future policy makers and leaders who can converse with the international community, while having a keen knowledge of Egypt and the region. Today, the new information technologies that have created virtual research networks and learning communities, digitized libraries and set up global classrooms are giving greater access to information worldwide and diminishing many of the advantages of larger, older schools. As Anderson predicts, the landscape of higher education in the 21st century will no longer be dominated by the traditional model of Europe and North America serving as the hub for research and graduate work for students from around the world. Instead, a networked world of research will form with nodes represented by top universities around the world. “We are beginning to see this picture come into focus, as some of the best universities in the world will become nodes in a global network,” said Anderson. 13 “AUC has all the requisites to become part of this network of top universities. We operate in English; we have spectacular facilities that offer opportunities in ways even the people who designed them could not have foreseen; and a fortunate set of circumstances — Egypt’s depth, a wide pool of talent and the appeal of Cairo,” said Anderson. AUC is already becoming further integrated into this elite academic network, as faculty members and students collaborate with top universities and international research centers on everything from nanoscience and the genomics of the Red Sea to economic history, management education and the promotion of philanthropy. “Partnering with leading institutions gives the School of Business the edge to collaborate and share intellectual and human capital that enables it to avail global experiences related to the school’s primary focal points of entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership,” said Sherif Kamel, dean of AUC’s new School of Business, which has partnerships with dozens of top business schools from around the world.

  • The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990
    The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990 Submitted by René Rieger to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Middle East Politics in June 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………… ………… 2 ABSTRACT This dissertation provides a comparative analysis of the foreign policies of the Arab Gulf monarchies during the period of 1971 to 1990, as examined through two case studies: (1) the Arab Gulf monarchies’ relations with Iran and Iraq and (2) the six states’ positions in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The dissertation argues that, in formulating their policies towards Iran and Iraq, the Arab Gulf monarchies aspired to realize four main objectives: external security and territorial integrity; domestic and regime stability; economic prosperity; and the attainment of a stable subregional balance of power without the emergence of Iran or Iraq as Gulf hegemon. Over the largest part of the period under review, the Arab Gulf monarchies managed to offset threats to these basic interests emanating from Iran and Iraq by alternately appeasing and balancing the source of the threat. The analysis reveals that the Arab Gulf monarchies’ individual bilateral relations with Iran and Iraq underwent considerable change over time and, particularly following the Iranian Revolution, displayed significant differences in comparison to one another.

  • CYBERSCRIBE-193 September 2011 Copy
    CYBERSCRIBE-193 Menhedj, Volume Two, Number 3 (September 2011) The CyberScribe would like to begin this column with a look backwards to a very important man to all of us who love ancient Egypt. I refer, of course, to Zahi Hawass. Admired, loved, hated, reviled, accused of terrible things…he is all of these things. But, he took the office as head of the Supreme Council on Antiquities (SCA) from a seldom seen, a somewhat ineffectual, and largely politically helpless agency to a dynamic power that protected and developed Egypt for us lucky visitors. Many people believed him to be a power and glory hungry person, and that may have been true in part, but modern day Egypt is far the better for his term in office. He has funneled huge sums into upgrading the sites, opening new areas and new museums, and has succeeded in generating a great deal of foreign currency for an impoverished Egypt. He is gone from the scene for now, perhaps forever as a power, but we must salute him…and offer a vote of thanks for a job that was for the most part, very well done! The Internet is filled with vicious attack websites, and laughter from those who enjoyed his fall, but that is probably the wrong tack. Yes, he has been accused of a number of criminal activities, but none of the accusations has resulted in conviction or censure. Thank you, Zahi Hawass! A site called ‘The National’ (http://tiny.cc/kuhn4) presented a nice overview, and it is presented below (with some abbreviation): ‘It is finally over for Zahi Hawass, Egypt's famous, flamboyant and controversial archaeologist.

  • Paper Was Written Under the Auspices of a Residential Summer 2004 Fellowship from the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law, Stanford University
    Export-Led Corruption: The European Union, Oil, Arms and Infrastructure Projects Carolyn Warner Department of Political Science Arizona State University office: 480.965.5201 fax: 480.965.3929 [email protected] This paper was written under the auspices of a residential summer 2004 fellowship from the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law, Stanford University. The views expressed are those of the author alone. It is a draft chapter for a forthcoming book (Cornell Univ. Press) on the political economy of corruption in the European Union. Comments welcome. Export-Led Corruption: The European Union, Oil, Arms and Infrastructure Projects That the global economy involves extensive bribery/corruption has been well-publicized by NGOs such as Transparency International, and, goaded by TI, by some international organizations, such as the World Bank, OECD and IMF. The extent of the involvement of European states in the creation and perpetuation of this system is less well known. Not only is corruption an element of transnational business transactions, it has been a part of the agendas of European politicians, their parties, their state-owned firms and/or “national champions”. This paper argues that, contrary to standard expectations, increased economic competition and trade openness lead to more, not less, corruption in certain kinds of export markets and foreign investments. The paper studies the arms trade, oil industry and major infrastructure projects. The political and economic dynamics of these sectors create a self-reinforcing system of corruption. Empirical evidence comes from a variety of European cases. Export-led Corruption When asked to explain how, on his modest government salary, he could have purchased 123 plane tickets for over $34,000, a former French bureaucrat, Jean-Charles Marchiani, replied that the funds came from “the savings of his 90 year old mother-in-law”1.

    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXVI 2013 NASHWA GABER The Tomb of Ja-MAat in Saqqara and Its Date 220 NASHWA GABER In the autumn of 2008, the Egyptian mission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) directed by Zahi Hawass begun a systematic excavation in an area, south west of the Step Pyramid of Djeser, and northeast of the Pyramid of Unas. The site of the excavation is a part of the area known as Gisr el-Mudir, which attracted scholars’ attention since the 1990s.1 In fact, the discovery of the tomb of Qar in 2001 by the Egyptian mission2 as well as the results of the Polish mission endorsed the decision to begin the excavation in the site.3 The results of the fi rst archaeological season 2008–2009 proved that the site has a vast cemetery of middle class offi cials related to the fi rst half of the Sixth Dynasty.4 The site chosen for the excavation is located on a hill that was covered with wind-blown sand. On the surface a mixture of tafl a and limestone could be seen (Figs 1–2). THE TOMB OF IA-MAAT One of the tombs discovered by the Egyptian mission is that of Ia-Maat, which was uncovered during the archaeological season 2009. It is located in the southwestern side of the cemetery at a distance of c. 410m from the Pyramid of Djeser (Fig. 1). It was covered completely with windblown sand. The tomb was left semi-fi nished; only the lintel on the façade of the cult chapel as well as its south and west walls are decorated with reliefs.
