GRC launches Global Leadership Executive Learning Program

The Gulf Research Center (GRC) and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) announced the launch of the Global Leadership Executive Learning Program, which will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from July 3-7, 2006.

Global Leadership exposes practitioners from the public and private sectors to a range of interlinked challenges in the global security, political and economic contexts, and prepares them to comprehend and respond to these challenges.

According to the GRC Chairman, Abdulaziz Sager, "In the present environment, leaders in the security, political and economic spheres cannot function in an isolated and insulated manner. As a result, the GRC and the GCSP have designed this leadership course with practical policy value that responds to the urgent need to understand each of these spheres individually and in relation to one another."

The program is divided into three modules. Each week-long segment is a stand-alone, but continuity has been established between the three by starting with the security program in July, followed by the economics module from November 27 to December 1, and the politics section from 26-30 March 2007.

The Global Leadership Executive Learning Program is tuition based and the segments can either be taken separately or as a unit. Each program discusses and analyzes previous, current, as well as anticipated critical global issues through interaction with eminent scholars and experts from different fields.

For further information, program brochure and application details, please visit the GRC website under www.grc.ae or contact Dr. Christian Koch, Program Director, at ckoch@grc.ae

Workshop on GCC-Iran ties lists CBMs

A workshop on relations between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Iran ended in Sharjah on Thursday with a call for "better communication, cooperation and coordination" to ensure that the prevailing atmosphere of "mixed signals, lack of transparency and mistrust" changes for the better in the interest of both sides.

Hosted by the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center (GRC) with the support of the UK-based Institute for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at Durham University, the two-day workshop - Current conditions and future prospects of GCC-Iran relations in the wake of Iran's presidential elections - brought together academics and officials from both spectrums, who laid out a raft of confidence building measures (CBMs) that could help in constructive management of the relations between the two sides.

According to the GRC Chairman, Abdulaziz Sager, the importance of the workshop lay in the fact that "we cannot afford to overlook the future trends of bilateral relations between the GCC countries and Iran, nor can we ignore the major regional and international developments that shaped the complex nature of relations between Washington and Tehran, the ramifications of the tug of war that accompanied the Iranian nuclear program, the implications of the situation in Iraq and other issues of concern."

While the GCC delegates expressed apprehension about the unknown qualities of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his "conservative" agenda, the Iranian delegates emphasized that the current Cabinet was more pragmatic than was expected of the president's background and his supporters' orientation. They stressed the current administration's inclination to improve ties with Islamic countries, which could contribute to better neighborly relations. It was added that the remainder of the foreign policy will be characterized by being Asia-friendly and anti-West.

During the deliberations held in the spirit of Track-II diplomacy, the most urgent CBMs sought by the GCC participants were resolution of the dispute with the UAE over the islands of Abu Musa and Greater and Lesser Tunbs, as well as "redefine and reframe" the nuclear issue. They said that both issues epitomized Iran's aggressive posture, which has intensified the environment of hostility. They insisted that the onus of proving that it is more for reconciliation than aggravating the crisis is on Tehran.

Iraq as a factor in further souring GCC-Iran relations also came under scrutiny. When pointed out that Tehran was using the deteriorating security situation to alter the balance of power in Iraq, which was unacceptable to the GCC countries, the Iranian experts defended the accusation by saying that a weak and disintegrated Iraq was more of a "liability" and unsustainable for Iran's political, economic or security interests.

Much of the discussion focused on the threat emanating from Iran's nuclear program with the overall assessment that miscalculations from the Iranian side could lead to catastrophic consequences for all the countries in the region. While insisting on the right of Iran to develop a peaceful civilian nuclear program, Iranian delegates sought to distinguish between the majority support for the program and the majority opposition against the "weaponization" of the program among Iran's masses. Yet even on this point, there was a debate about actual Iranian intentions and the need for greater Iranian transparency. 

Apart from both sides agreeing that the US role in the region was widening the perception gap between the two, among the other points of convergence were exploring the possibilities of establishing a GCC-Iran-Iraq forum to help lift the veil of uncertainty in the region and reducing the threat perception by getting the two sides integrated economica

GRC to host GCC-Nato relations conference

The Dubai-based Gulf Research Center (GRC) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) Division of Public Diplomacy will host a one-day joint conference from 9 am to 6 pm at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel on Monday, September 26.

Titled "Promoting Cooperation and Fostering Relations: Nato-Gulf Relations in the Framework of the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative," the discussion will focus on Nato's decision to adopt the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative in June 2004, which underscores its intention to work with interested countries in the Middle East, starting with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

"These discussions will serve as a backdrop to foster a mutually beneficial bilateral relationship and enhance security and stability. It will also explore the possibility of Nato role in Gulf security matters," GRC Chairman Abdulaziz Sager said.

Apart from experts from Nato and the GCC countries, the event will be attended by a number of high-level diplomats from both sides. Nato Assistant Secretary-General for Public Diplomacy Jean Fournet will give the keynote address.

GRC signs cooperation agreements with three European institutions

The Gulf Research Center (GRC) signed memoranda of understanding with three European academic organizations on Sunday to further the scope of research programs pertaining to relations between the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the European Union.

The Dubai-based think tank, education provider and consultancy signed separate agreements with the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the Institute of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies (IMEIS) at the University of Durham in Britain and the Netherlands Institute of International Relations 'Clingendael'.

The institutions have agreed to work together in pursuit of creating greater national, regional and international awareness on issues pertaining to security and stability in the Arabian Gulf region, the greater Middle East and beyond.

According to the GRC Chairman, Abdulaziz Sager, "the agreements aim to collaborate and support each other in the areas of research, policy facilitation and implementation of long-term conditions for peace, security and sustainable development."

The cooperation also aims to build the capacity of institutions and peoples in the region to assist in the planning, coordination and implementation of national, regional and international initiatives aimed at improving mutual understanding, resolving outstanding issues of conflict and promoting regional and trans-regional cooperation for stability and security, Sager said.

The areas of cooperation encompass joint research; dissemination of findings; convening conferences; facilitating exchange of scholars; translation, re-publication and distribution of selected publications; and sharing of relevant databases.

SIPRI is a research institute dedicated to conducting research relating to conflict and cooperation of importance for international peace and security, with the aim of contributing to an understanding of the conditions for peaceful solutions of international conflicts and for a stable peace.

The IMEIS, within the School of Government and International Affairs, is at the forefront of Middle Eastern studies, teaching and research in Britain. It is the only Economic and Social Research Council-recognized Middle East and Islamic studies department in Britain.

The Hague-based Clingendael Institute promotes the understanding of international affairs with special focus on European integration, transatlantic relations, international security, conflict studies, policy making on national and international energy markets, negotiations and diplomacy, as well as the United Nations and other international organizations.

GRC, AUS formalize cooperation agreement

The Dubai-based Gulf Research Center (GRC) and American University of Sharjah (AUS) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to cooperate, collaborate and support each other in the areas of research, knowledge dissemination, networking, internships and related events.  

After the signing ceremony, GRC Chairman Abdulaziz Sager said: "In line with our 'knowledge for all' mission, the motive of the agreement is to enhance information dissemination about the Gulf region openly and as widely as possible."

As a first step towards pursuing their common objective, the GRC will provide all AUS students and faculty members with free access to its research website (www.grc.ae) and media website (www.gulfinthemedia.com) until April 2006.

According to AUS Chancellor Prof. Winfred Thompson, the MoU "will facilitate information exchange among scholars, researchers, faculty and students by convening joint conferences, seminars, workshops and lectures as well as through the sharing of relevant data and databases."

The two institutions have also agreed to cooperate effectively to enhance on-the-job experience by sponsoring internships for AUS students at GRC in various subject areas relevant to the region and specialized by the center; collaborate in research activities; publish selected joint publications in both electronic and hard copy forms; encourage networking of scholars and regional experts; improve technical capabilities by exchanging relevant information and transferring knowledge, including best practice information; and promoting capacity building through the conduct of joint training programs.

Support for Iran nuclear program ideological, says South African minister

South Africa on Wednesday denied it had any form of nuclear cooperation with Iran, but said it reserves the right to access nuclear technology for peaceful purposes on ideological grounds and supports all countries wishing to have access to such technology without violating the non-proliferation treaty (NPT), including Iran.

Addressing a press conference at the Gulf Research Center in Dubai, South African Foreign Minister Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said: "NPT stands on three legs - non-proliferation, disarmament and access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. The West wants to pretend that there is only one leg - non-proliferation - and ignores the other two, which is unacceptable." 

Dr. Dlamini-Zuma emphasized that South Africa is urging Iran to clear the air about the present ambiguity, but would support Iran's right to nuclear technology as long as it does not violate the principles of NPT.

The minister's visit to the UAE is part of a week-long tour of the Gulf region, during which she will also visit Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Yemen. Apart from strengthening bilateral political, economic and cultural relations with the region, where more than 32,000 South Africans live, the minister's interaction is focusing on issues pertaining to multilateralism, poverty eradication, peace and stability, as well as the rule of law.

Commenting on the issue of supporting independence for the Western Sahara after traditionally backing the Polisario Front, overriding Morocco's objections, Dr. Dlamini-Zuma said South Africa - because of its history of freedom struggle - supports all self-determination movements, including the Palestinian struggle against Israel.

"We delayed the decision to back the Western Sahara movement for 10 years following requests from Saudi Arabia, the United Nations and Morocco, but after realizing that there was no Moroccan move towards a referendum, we formalized our support in 2004," the minister said, adding that "if the people of Western Sahara are given a chance to decide and they favor to be part of Morocco, we will support it too."

Similarly, "we will not abandon the Palestinians till they achieve freedom. We support their right to self-determination, the roadmap and the two-state solution. We have been and will continue to hold talks with Palestinian and Israeli groups to resolve the crisis and convince them of the benefits of peace," she said.

On its role in Iraq, Dr. Dlamini-Zuma said South Africa was against the war and was hence not involved in the reconstruction process at the official level. "But private individuals and companies are involved in Iraq through Western institutions, especially as part of the private security apparatus," she added. 

South Africa's interaction with Iraq has changed after the elections, the minister pointed out. "We have now agreed to have an ambassador in South Africa, will resume normal relations and even consider how to get involved in the reconstruction process."

On issues concerning better ties between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Africa, the minister urged the region to realize that the "forgotten continent" will be quite awake during the next decade. "We look forward to support for the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad) by way of investments in the field of energy, information technology and transportation infrastructure," she said.

Earlier, the minister was briefed about the political, economic, social and security developments in the region by experts at the Gulf Research Center (GRC), an independent think tank, education provider and consultancy. The GRC, "which is pursuing a dedicated research program on GCC-South Africa Relations, intends to facilitate better cooperation between the two sides. Further, given South Africa's fundamentals and capabilities, it could also play an important role in boosting the GCC's relations with the Sub-Saharan African countries," the center's Chairman, Abdulaziz Sager, said.

GRC, Cigre explore cooperation

A delegation of over 25 experts from the Paris-based International Council on Large Electric Systems (Cigre) held talks with the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center (GRC) on April 20 to explore avenues of working jointly in the electricity sector and its related areas within GRC's energy research program.

"Since our energy research program deals with oil, gas and electricity sectors, we are keen to work in synergy with organizations like GCC-Cigre," said GRC Chairman Abdulaziz Sager.

The Cigre delegation was particularly interested in the GRC's 'research and business model' as a benchmark for its own activities. It also discussed the various aspects of privatization of the water and electricity sectors in the region and the GCC pricing in comparison with their international counterparts. 

The visit of the delegation - headed by Dr. Ibrahim Al-Hamoudi, Chairman of Doha-based GCC-Cigre Technical Committee - coincides with the work on the multibillion-dollar GCC power grid project getting under way in September. The plan - which links the six GCC countries with an integrated electricity network - was first discussed 20 years ago, but is now scheduled to be completed by 2010.

While phase one will link Saudi Arabia with Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, the second phase will link the UAE with Oman. The two resulting mega grids will be linked in the final phase. The power grid is expected to boost electricity network in the region, help exchange electricity to meet growing needs, utilize surplus output, save on new power projects and ensure uninterrupted power supply.

Cigre is a non-profit making organization established in 1921 and is mainly devoted to encouraging and developing scientific research and studies in the field of electricity systems. The Regional Committee for Large Electric Systems, GCC-Cigre, is an affiliate of the Paris organization.

GRC, Teri initiate 'Green Gulf' project

The Dubai-based Gulf Research Center (GRC) and New Delhi-based The Energy and Resources Institute (Teri) signed a wide-ranging co-operation agreement on Monday to foster green thinking in the region.

According to GRC Chairman Abdulaziz Sager: "The joint effort aims to promote the concept of a "Green Gulf" that would focus on the natural resources of the region and the state of the environment, both critical to the future of the Gulf and world. Our objective is to create awareness among the public."

In joining hands with Teri, "we hope to draw from their "Green India 2047" project, which envisions a cleaner and greener environment," Sager added.

Teri Director-General Dr. RK Pachauri, who is also Chairman of the Geneva-based Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change, said: "India and the Gulf have a long history of cultural and social interaction, but this has not been converted into collaborative relationships in the scientific, academic and intellectual fields."

The GRC-Teri partnership "is an attempt to join hands in solving some of the most critical problems facing humanity in the form of unsustainable patterns of production and consumption. It is particularly critical for the Gulf region to manage all its resources - including land, air and water - in a manner that helps to meet fully the needs of the present as well as future generations. Our collaboration is a small but significant step in that direction," Pachauri added.

In outlining the first steps towards achieving the common vision, GRC chairman said "we intend to target and mould young minds, because children are the catalyst for change. We hope energy-related companies and institutions will cooperate toward this end."

With a focus on research activities in the fields of energy, environment, and sustainable development, Teri - set up in 1974 - is a unique developing county institution with five regional centers in India and presence in five other countries, including the UAE.
 

5 April 2005

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has awarded the world-wide distribution rights for the Arabic hardcopy and digital versions as well as the English digital version of the Arab Human Development Report 2004 to the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center (GRC).

Titled "Towards Freedom in the Arab World", the report will be released by UNDP on April 5. This publication, which is the third such annual report, is the culmination of an intellectual exercise that not only highlights problems plaguing the Arab world, but offers solutions to overcome them as well. The publication has aroused great interest every year since the 2002 report identified three key deficits - freedom, women's empowerment and knowledge.

The GRC-UNDP agreement also allows the Dubai-based think tank to promote, sell and distribute the digital English versions of the 2002 and 2003 reports.

While the Arabic digital copy version is available free of charge through the center's website (www.grc.ae) as a downloadable file, the English digital copy will be available for a nominal cost of $10 per download.

The Arabic hardcopy version will be made available both through the Gulf Research Center and its distribution channels comprising a wide retail network.

GRC releases policy paper on Arab peace force

The Gulf Research Center (GRC), a Dubai-based think tank and consultancy, released a new study authored by its Chairman, Abdulaziz Sager. The publication is part of a project that falls within a set of future ideas expressing regional and pan-Arab interests, and explores the possibility of creating an Arab peace force. Its key objective is to empower the Arab world to rely on its own capabilities in dealing with political crises and natural disasters while limiting the phenomenon of foreign interventions in its internal affairs.

The study points to a disturbing trend linked to the permanent state of instability in the Arab world for decades. The reality, it points out, is that UN peace-keeping forces were deployed for the first time in 1948 in the Arab world. Since then, conflicts and problems in the Middle East region have utilized almost 80 percent of the UN resources.

The study offers a comprehensive approach to the idea of establishing a multi-tasked Arab military force endowed with multiple capabilities. The proposed force, besides being a specialized permanent force, would possess the requisite capabilities to handle security crises and natural catastrophes on an emergency basis. The new forces would have the inherent capacity to offer full support to the mission of stabilizing the security conditions in any part of the region and help provide basic services to civilian populations.

The new GRC publication seeks to encourage Arab governments to initiate an earnest dialogue on the project by following the suit of other regions of the world such as the EU and Africa, both of which have managed to set up regional and specialized peace-keeping military units capable of responding to developments in the local environment.

The study terms the failure of the Arab world to realize this objective as unjustified and hopes that it will pave the way towards giving shape to the project or, at least, open the door to a constructive dialogue that is likely to help formulate an Arab vision for future realization.
