Inside Story - Obama's Middle East policy - Nov 10 - Part 1
America's drive to conclude a Middle East peace deal before President George Bush leaves office in January was always going to be wildly over-optimistic but Barack Obama is likely to set an equally pressing deadline to finish the job.
Barack Obama says he'll reshape US foreign policy with particular emphasis on the Middle East. He promises to put the Israeli-Palestinian conflict back on the American agenda. He blames the Bush administration for having neglected the issue. But is his position really that different? And is he free to change foreign policy?

Google Tech Talks
May, 22 2008
ABSTRACT
Higher education is changing rapidly in the Middle East with the establishment of new U.S. campuses in the Gulf Emirates and the new King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia.

Middle East World Economic Forum 2007 - Queen Rania
http://www.weforum.org 19.05.2007
Defining Global Citizenship: From Philanthropy to Activism
Contributing to the common good takes many forms, from individual acts of philanthropy to ongoing patterns of social activism.
1) How can individual philanthropists make the best use of their resources? What successful frameworks exist inside and outside the region?
2) Do companies have a responsibility to the wider community, or should they simply contribute funds to "specialist" institutions?
3) What can ordinary members of society do to become active global citizens? How can such activism be encouraged?

Fastest Growing City in the World! Middle East 2.0 - Dubai
As seen on 60 Minutes Dubai Inc. reported by Steve Kroft.
The Biggest Story in the World --- Dubai - home of the world's largest construction site and one of the most amazing stories in our world today.
While millions flock to Dubai annually, from an American perspective it's "the Middle East we don't know".
Still surrounded in misunderstanding by so many in the US, the massively positive story of Dubai and Middle East 2.0 is the real story of change in the Gulf.
It is a story of peaceful, constructive excellence and the pursuit of dreams. A story very much in line with true American values.
Dubai is a city in the emirate of Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE in the Persian Gulf. The UAE is part of the GCC, Gulf Cooperative Council, an economic group of...

http://www.weforum.org/middleeast2008 19.05.2008
World Economic Forum on the Middle East 2008
Does Arab Business Care?
As many Arab companies start to brand themselves as global players, there is growing realization that they have a civic duty to become global stakeholders alongside governments and civil society to help solve global issues such as climate change, water shortages and corruption.
1) What do businesses in the Middle East and North Africa region do today to engage as corporate global citizens?
2) What are the potential financial implications of these global issues (climate change, water shortages and corruption) on companies in MENA?
3) What lessons can be learned from actively engaged and successful international corporations?
