Futures Studies

By: The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research

Futures studies are particularly important in our contemporary world, indispensable for countries and institutions alike. Unprecedented rapid developments in all fields require continuous efforts, from countries and individuals, to explore the future and draw up plans to keep pace with the latest developments. Moreover, countries that aspire to strengthen their economic position, and see citizens reach their full potential by providing the highest standards of welfare, should base strategies for the future on rational, objective studies. In this context, The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research’s (ECSSR) 23rd Annual Conference, ‘Futures Studies’, merits special attention, as it tackled a critical subject that is of great interest for strategic planners and decision-makers, particularly in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is especially significant as the UAE pursues future plans in accordance with its ambitious aspirations to become the best country in the world by its centennial in 2071. This book documents the key proceedings and discussions of the ECSSR’s 23rd Annual Conference. Through its seven chapters, researchers examine the most important areas pertaining to futures studies. The first chapter looks at the evolution of warfare over the last two centuries and discusses the ways these changes have impacted paradigms of political stability. The second chapter discusses international relations in the post-globalization era. The third chapter examines the Sapiens 5.0 (S5.0) manifesto, which includes advancing interdisciplinary and future-focused solutions. The fourth chapter reviews the revolutionary aspects of genomic medicine, while the fifth chapter discusses bacterial resistance to antibiotics, which has developed into a global crisis affecting the world’s health and economic well-being. The sixth chapter examines ageing communities and the need to redesign healthcare systems. Finally, the seventh chapter highlights social networking technology and the media of the future.

The Role of Research Centers in Supporting Public Policy

By: The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research

With the myriad of challenges facing the modern world and the responsibility to urgently address these issues, research centers have an increasingly important role to play. In general, research centers are specialized institutions that rely on the professional and intellectual expertise of academics in the proposal and setting of policies. Hence, these institutions are the driving forces that reap such expertise for decision makers in the name of public service. As highlighted in this volume, modern governments must therefore seek to recruit the top specialists in order to proficiently and accurately assess the options and situations at hand and to formulate policies accordingly. This collection of scholarly papers provides a comprehensive overview of some of the issues surrounding the functions of research centers in the current world. One of these is how research centers can assist Gulf countries in promoting security in the region. With the continued threats of terrorism, sectarianism and counterinsurgency, the book suggests how these issues can be analyzed, in order to better understand their intricate nature, and then be countered through balanced efforts that ensure that these endeavors do not aggravate the problems. The book also examines the work of research centers in various countries and their invaluable efforts to inform decision makers and grasp the agendas, challenges and fundamental aspects of an issue at hand, while addressing geopolitical issues and uncovering the most pertinent data amidst an influx of information. Finally, the book looks at the present and future of research centers in Arab countries, and suggests methods of work to rid the negative image of the future in the Arab mind, while helping reform the education, scientific research and the academic systems.

The Future of Education in the UAE

Innovation & Knowledge Production

By: The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research

Education in the 21st century has at its core the promotion of original thought, creativity and innovation. The move away from rote learning and repetitive memorization of facts has helped engender a new culture of inspiring children to use their imaginations to find solutions to problems, and subsequently develop a confidence in one's decision-making, which will be a tremendous advantage throughout life. In Abu Dhabi, the emphasis on innovation is embedded in a number of strategic policies, including a call to build "an environment that fosters innovation, cultivates a healthy risk-taking culture and strengthens the research and development capacity" in the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, and a call for an economic model of growth "driven by knowledge and innovation" in the Vision 2021. However, how does an education establishment begin the process of teaching creative learnings and problem solving? What skills are required by teaching staff and what availability of equipment is essential to this task?

Future Arabian Gulf Energy Sources

Hydrocarbon, Nuclear or Renewable?

By: The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have recognized the urgent need for a dramatic increase in electricity production in the coming decades in order to support rapid economic and social development in the region. The populations of the GCC countries are among the highest per capita users of energy in the world today, partly due to the harsh climate, but also to profligate use and inefficiencies in transmission and consumption. In order to meet future energy requirements, electricity generation must increase significantly and per capita consumption and waste decline dramatically. The economic development and continued urbanization of the Gulf region depend on energy from a variety of sources. It was with these challenges in mind that the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) convened its 13th Annual Energy Conference on November 19–21, 2007 in Abu Dhabi under the title Future Arabian Gulf Energy Sources: Hydrocarbon, Nuclear or Renewable? Visiting experts and policy makers were invited to share their views on the future composition of the Gulf energy sector and the challenges faced by the Gulf states in meeting their growing energy needs. This volume represents a valuable collection of these expert views, assessing trends and projections for Gulf energy requirements in the coming decades and addressing the need for greater conservation of energy and electricity, as well as methods with which to reduce the anticipated surge in demand. It also examines the potential role of renewable energy in the Gulf in powering both electricity generation and transport, and assesses the suitability of Nuclear energy as an alternative source of power generation in the coming decades. Furthermore, the technical, geopolitical and strategic concerns surrounding the use of nuclear power in a vitally important region like the Arabian Gulf are considered.

Muslim Brotherhood and Terrorism

Facts and Evidence

By: The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research

Since it was founded in 1928 by Hassan Al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood has sought to present itself as the moderate manifestation of political Islam movements and express its rejection of all forms of violence, extremism and terrorism. However, a closer look at the history of the group since its establishment and a meticulous review of its literature and political and religious ideology easily exposes the falsehood of these unrealistic claims, and reveals that this group is the source of terrorism and extremism both regionally and globally. The intellectual product of the Muslim Brotherhood has been the ideological foundation for all the emerging extremist and terrorist groups that act under the veil of religion. Groups such as Al-Qaeda, the Islamic Jihad group, Takfir wal-Hijra groups and most recently Da’esh (ISIS) have all developed from the Muslim Brotherhood and have assimilated the same ideology adopted by the group. There is no clearer proof of this than the fact that these extremist groups have been established or led by former members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
