Arab Knowledge Report 2009

The Arab Knowledge Report 2009 examines the current state of Arab knowledge. It
derives its legitimacy from the pressing need for information about knowledge performance in the region at a time when the importance of knowledge for the realisation of the many new prospects it has opened up for all areas of
society is increasing. An analytical approach to the evolution of knowledge and the knowledge revolution witnessed by the world at the end of the last and the beginning of this century is new to the agendas of the relevant national and international research institutions. Chief among the numerous reasons for the current Arab interest in the subject is the desire not to miss out on the anticipated effects of the knowledge revolution and to be alert to the roles it plays in generating progress, whether on the political, economic, or social level.
