Cooley papers at the Hoover Institution Archives began as a collection of miscellaneous documents created and acquired by Cooley while reporting as a journalist from Algeria during that country's war for independence in the early 1960s. This material was donated by Cooley to the Hoover Institution Archives in 1963, and includes propaganda leaflets, interview transcripts, transcripts of Cooley's news dispatches and radio broadcasts, and other printed matter, especially material relating to the French military revolt led by the Organisation Armée Secrète in Algiers in 1961. The remaining papers in this collection were donated by Cooley's family shortly after his death in 2008, and chiefly document his activities as a journalist and author from the 1970s onward, while he worked for the Christian Science Monitoras well as ABC News, based alternately in Lebanon, Cyprus, and Greece. Although Cooley had maintained an extensive personal archive throughout his career as a journalist in North Africa and the Middle East, much of it was lost in 1975, when he was forced to flee his home in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War. The papers in his extant collection are divided in series by writings and speeches, research projects for ABC News, photographs, personal papers, and collected miscellany. The writings contain material related to some of his earlier books, but the bulk consists of typescript drafts and background materials for his last two books, An Alliance against Babylon (2005) and Currency Wars(2008). In addition, reprints of published articles and newspaper stories, as well as drafts of stories, texts of speeches and conference papers, and proposed projects are also included. Many of the speeches and unpublished conference papers contain autobiographical material about Cooley and his career as a journalist, and chapter drafts of his unfinished memoirs are also included in this series. A separate series is provided for research material related to stories he was assigned with ABC News. Of note in this series is the research he conducted while working on an Emmy Award-winning ABC News Primetime television special on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. In addition to his work on the ABC project, Cooley also planned to write a book about the bombing, and material on that can be found in the series on proposed projects. Rounding out the collection are assorted photographs Cooley took or collected while on assignment in Algeria, Yemen, Western Sahara, Morocco, and Lebanon; as well as reporters' notebooks containing notes from interviews and for stories he planned to write. Arrangement The collection is organized into 8 series, by format of material and then chronologically within the series and subseries.

  • Houses Built on Sand Ii
    i Houses built on sand ii Series editors: Simon Mabon, Edward Wastnidge and May Darwich After the Arab Uprisings and the ensuing fragmentation of regime– society relations across the Middle East, identities and geopolitics have become increasingly contested, with serious implications for the ordering of political life at domestic, regional and international levels, best seen in conflicts in Syria and Yemen. The Middle East is the most militarised region in the world, where geopolitical factors remain predominant in shaping political dynamics. Another common feature of the regional landscape is the continued degeneration of communal relations as societal actors retreat into substate identities, while difference becomes increasingly violent, spilling out beyond state borders. The power of religion – and trans- state nature of religious views and linkages – thus provides the means for regional actors (such as Saudi Arabia and Iran) to exert influence over a number of groups across the region and beyond. This series provides space for the engagement with these ideas and the broader political, legal and theological factors to create space for an intellectual reimagining of socio- political life in the Middle East. Originating from the SEPAD project (www.sepad.org.uk), this series facilitates the reimagining of political ideas, identities and organisation across the Middle East, moving beyond the exclusionary and binary forms of identity to reveal the contingent factors that shape and order life across the region. iii Houses built on sand Violence, sectarianism and revolution in the Middle East Simon Mabon Manchester University Press iv Copyright © Simon Mabon 2020 The right of Simon Mabon to be identified as the author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

  • Jordan and Disability Rights: a Pioneering Leader in the Arab World
    Jordan and Disability Rights: A Pioneering Leader in the Arab World Kenneth R. Rutherford, PhD, MBA Missouri State University Abstract: This article investigates Jordan’s rationale for assuming a leadership role on the disability rights issue in the Arab World. Tens of millions of people, including over ten percent of Arab families, are impacted and impoverished because of disability. To address this substantial challenge, the Jordan Royal family has leveraged Jordan’s tradition of openness and generosity coupled with one of the best educational systems in the Arab World to promote disability issues. As a result, Jordan is recognized by the international community as leading the Arab World in promoting disability rights. Jordan’s international and regional leadership on disability rights was recognized in 2005 when Jordan received the Franklin Delano Roosevelt International Disability Award. Key Words: disability rights, Jordan, Middle East “Jordan’s overall achievement in the field of disability provides a fine example of a human rights approach combined with leadership at the highest level. It draws inspiration from a rich variety of material – ranging from Arab-Islamic tradition to the modern Jordanian constitution and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.” U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, remarks at the FDR International Disability Award Ceremony for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, United Nations, New York, N.Y., March 23, 2005. Despite Jordan’s location in one of the most volatile and insecure parts of the world, it plays a leading international and regional role in alleviating suffering and protecting the rights of people with disabilities (PWD).i Jordan’s leadership on disability rights was recognized in 2005 when it received the Franklin Delano Roosevelt International Disability Award, named for the U.S.

[Source: dailysabah.com] Pattern of U.S. Support for Autocracy across the Middle East In early April, Prince Hamzah bin Hussein, the former crown prince of Jordan, was imprisoned under house arrest. King Abdullah II, who is Hamzah’s half-brother and the absolute ruler of Jordan, ordered Prince Hamzah to cease communications with the outside world. Prince Hamzah said he would not keep quiet, tweeting, “I’m not going to obey when they say you can’t go out, you can’t tweet, you can’t communicate with people.” The Jordanian deputy prime minister, Ayman Safadi, claimed that the prince was involved in “incitement and efforts to mobilize citizens against the state in a manner that threatens national security,” the Associated Press reported.

Within the Middle East and North Africa, eight countries have political systems that fall under the definition of a monarchy. Two of these countries are Jordan and Morocco. Both the Jordanian and Moroccan monarchies have managed to survive and retain their power while other monarchies in the greater Middle East have failed. The Jordanian and Moroccan monarchies survived Nasserism and Ba’thism, Arab nationalism and Islamist movements.

The concepts and analytical framework provided in this paper represent universal principles that, while applying to the Middle East water conflict, are also reflective of and applicable to many other disputes over natural resources around the world. This aspect about the research is particularly of great interest to the quest and scope of many other researches, considering the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is egarr ded as the sine qua non from which many troubling aspects emanate in different part of the Middle East and beyond.
