  • Introduction
    Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Introduction to the Project This book presents a catalogue of the Islamic funerary inscriptions of Bahrain dat- ing to before 1317 AH/1900 AD (all dates are specified as either AH or AD. Where both dates are cited these are in the format AH/AD). It results from fieldwork completed between 2013 and 2015 undertaken in co-operation with the Bahraini Shiʿa Jaffaria Waqf and the Sunni Waqf authorities who provided information on the locations of relevant gravestones, personnel to participate in the recording, and ethical clear- ance and research authorisation (along with the Directorate of Archaeology and Heritage of the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities). 150 gravestones were recorded in 26 locations: in 23 cemeteries, mosques, and shrines (136 gravestones), two museums (13 gravestones), and one private house (1 gravestone) (Table 1.1; Figure 1.1). Of these, 38 gravestones were exposed through archaeological excava- tion and 106 have inscriptions.

  • Politics of Citizenship
    From Citizen to Non-Existent A Study of Bahrain’s Politics of Citizenship Zeineb Alsabeehg Master’s Thesis in Political Science Spring 2017 Word Count: 35,273 II From Citizen to Non-Existent When a Bahraini has his citizenship revoked, he has no right in life. When you make him stateless, you have ripped him from his roots. You made no existence for him in the country he is in. It is like you have executed him civilly. It is a civil execution. – Author interview with a Bahraini whose citizenship has been revoked by the authorities in Bahrain. III © Zeineb Alsabeehg 2017 From Citizen to Non-Existent. A Study of Bahrain’s Politics of Citizenship Zeineb Alsabeehg http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo IV Abstract In 2011, Bahrain was one of the Arab countries which were affected by mass-scale protests. Since then, the public dissatisfaction with the political system, which was the underlying cause for the eruption of the Bahraini uprising, has not been alleviated. Instead, the relationship between the ruler and the ruled has deteriorated on several accounts. This thesis examines the relationship between the state and the citizens in Bahrain. It addresses the authorities’ politics of citizenship; that is, how they regulate the state-citizen relationship. The situation in five arenas is described. These arenas are related to (1) education, (2) employment, (3) religious freedom and cultural rights, (4) access to citizenship and, to a lesser extent, (5) access to political participation. Particular attention is paid to how the public policies result in differentiated citizenship, in which different citizen statuses are attached to different groups in society.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Background: Qatar, one of the smallest and wealthiest countries in the world, is a newly emerging healthcare system. Medical leadership in Qatar has had to create an infrastructure for medical care over the past twenty years. The purpose of this paper is to review the challenges and achieve- ments of the newly emerging Qatar healthcare system. Methods: PubMed was searched using MESH terms: Qatar, healthcare, medical development, medical insurance and medical history. Websites of the World Bank, CIA fact book, Qatar Ministry of Health, Hamad Medical Corporation, Organiza- tion for Economic Co-operation and Development and the US State department were searched for information about Qatar’s healthcare system and its history. Results: Qatar is a rapidly growing, multicultural country with over 80 nationalities represented. Qatar has developed a healthcare system with universal coverage. Up until 2014, the government has subsidized all care. There are plans to develop a medical insurance system.

    College of Business and Economics, Qatar University White Paper Volume 1 No. 2 2016, PP.1-7 What Marketing Strategy is Needed to Deliver a Successful World Cup in 2022? Osama Al-Kwifi College of Business and Economics, Qatar University Abstract: Sport is a rapidly evolving industry, therefore event managers need complex ad- vertisement strategies to estimate and encounter market requirements. This condition be- comes even more sophisticated when a global sports event is managed, especially when it is hosted by a country that does not have the essential infrastructure and tourism foundation. The objective of this paper, therefore, is to describe how Qatar is aggressively working to accommodate a successful World Cup in 2022, and then to explore the marketing challenges that face Qatar in effectively promoting its event at the international level. Based on that, a set of steps are defined to manage an effective marketing strategy, which can significantly increase the level of world cup participation. This can help Qatar deliver its world cup bid- ing slogan: “Expect Amazing.” INTRODUCTION ists, something that can add significant advantage The majority of the previous international sport when promoting the event at the global level. events took place in countries that are well devel- oped in terms of adequate infrastructure and eco- Qatar had drafted a comprehensive national vision nomic development.
