The Arab world straddles two continents, Asia and Africa, and its long coastline gives it access to critical waterways. Although there are differences among the Arab people from Morocco to the Persian Gulf, they enjoy a common bond of history, culture and tradition. It is a place with a great past and a highly promising future.
In centuries past, the Arab world was a centre of knowledge and innovation. Arab peoples long ago demonstrated their capacity for enlightened, creative engagement with the rest of the world, in ways that left an important mark on the course of civilization. As the Arab World Competitiveness Report states, a gradual return to that golden age requires a clear comprehension of the problems and challenges which the region faces today, an acceptance of the need for change, and the formulation of viable paths of reform.
Nowadays, the Arab world is facing an unprecedented opportunity for playing a critical role in the global economic and cultural scene, not only because of the plethora of resources and the geostrategic position of the region, but mostly due to an unparalleled effort to transform the unique characteristics of the Arab Culture and management as key enablers of a developmental process in the area.
There is growing consensus among leaders in the Arab world that sustained economic and political reforms are the only way to boost the growth performance of the Arab countries. These countries vary significantly in their levels of per capita income, the degree of political and economic liberalisation that underpins them, and the structure of their productive apparatus, with many being unduly dependent on the energy sector. The Arab world finds itself at a critical crossroads.
Within this context, the global community is interested in the deeper understanding of the culture, business perspectives and realities of Arab world as well as in the opportunities within region. From this perspective, IJACMSD provides an international forum to explore global economic, educational, cultural and business collaboration in the Arab world. Promoting dialogue for sustainable development in the Arab world, the journal plays a key role in synthesizing opinions, providing sound propositions and bringing together ideas and thoughts for a prosperous future of the Arab World.
