Science, Technology and Development: What Prospects for the Arab World?, by Abdlatif Yousef Al-Hamad Humanity has entered a new era under the influence of the progress of science, technology and globalization. As a factor of interdependence, this development is also a source of disparities. This constitutes a major challenge for the Arab world, which must not only conduct a transformation process but also catch up in the areas of education, science and technology. But the Arab countries do not have the choice. If they want to develop, they must concurrently adjust to globalization, liberalize and exploit the opportunities induced by scientific revolutions. This will be achievable in the context of a society that is open to pluralism and innovation and is mobilized, while being integrated regionally and internationally. However, only democracy and social justice, combined with security and peace, will be able to give science and technology a human face.

Abstract

Science, Technology and Development: What Prospects for the Arab World?, by Abdlatif Yousef Al-Hamad

Humanity has entered a new era under the influence of the progress of science, technology and globalization. As a factor of

interdependence, this development is also a source of disparities. This constitutes a major challenge for the Arab world, which

must not only conduct a transformation process but also catch up in the areas of education, science and technology. But the Arab

countries do not have the choice. If they want to develop, they must concurrently adjust to globalization, liberalize and exploit the

opportunities induced by scientific revolutions. This will be achievable in the context of a society that is open to pluralism and

innovation and is mobilized, while being integrated regionally and internationally. However, only democracy and social justice,

combined with security and peace, will be able to give science and technology a human face.
