Why Arabs Lost Past Glories

Posted by Matt in April 7th, 2007

Why are the Arabs so low in so many measurements? Even before the dissolution of the Ottoman Caliphate in the beginning of the 20th century, we went down a slope that took us to where we stand today — at the bottom of the achievement ladder. Collectively, we contribute less than most nations to world progress and civilization.

Apart from a few notable achievements in a few better-off countries, most Arabs live in an environment of servility. Slaves do not initiate or innovate.

Middle East World Economic Forum 2008 - Arab Business
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?

Higher Education in the Middle East and the Next Generation of Arab Leaders
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.

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...

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?
